Original title: Can the genetically modified salmon enter China?
Zhu Yi, an associate professor at the China Agricultural University, explained that during the infancy period, the wild salmon has a growth-restricted period that does not secrete growth hormone. It only secretes this hormone in the summer, and the genetically modified transgenic salmon has no such growth hormone. The growth restriction period has been able to grow rapidly under the stimulation of growth. It takes only one and a half years to get to the table, but the traditional salmon takes three years.
According to the FDA regulations, the cultivation of this type of salmon can only be carried out in two closed onshore hatcheries in Canada and Panama, but not in the United States. Zhu Yi believes that this will ensure the environmental safety of genetically modified salmon. At the same time, from the standpoint of food health care, it may be more acceptable to the general public than genetically modified rice:
Zhu Yi said that it is Atlantic salmon, which is transferred to the DNA of the salmon in the Pacific. On protein tests, it showed that the genetically modified salmon and the original wild salmon did not change.
The FDA's decision was met with protests from local people opposed to GM foods. In fact, this type of salmon was successfully cultivated by Canadian scientists 25 years ago. However, due to consumers' cautious attitude toward genetically modified foods, it has not been approved. Zhu Yi analyzes that since the FDA does not provide that the listed transgenic salmon should have a clear logo, the market outlook remains to be seen. At the same time, whether genetically modified salmon can enter China may also have to wait for the market reaction after the US listing: “At least After a year and a half, it may be possible for China to make corresponding follow-up measures after looking at the degree of acceptance of American consumers.
