普通三文鱼需要30个月才能成熟,转基因三文鱼则只需16-18个月就可上餐桌。美国食品和药品管理局(FDA)公布草案,初步认证美国生物技术企业Aqua Bounty研制的“超级三文鱼”对环境没有危害,FDA将做出最终决定,予以转基因三文鱼食品安全认证。这意味着转基因三文鱼可能会成为世界首个可食用转基因动物。已经有媒体预测,在未来2-3年内,转基因三文鱼将走上美国人的餐桌。 Normal salmon takes 30 months to mature, while GM salmon takes 16-18 months to get to the table. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a draft to initially certify that “Super Salmon” developed by Aqua Bounty, a U.S. biotechnology company, is not harmful to the environment. The FDA will make the final decision to certify the safety of GM salmon food. This means GM salmon may become the world’s first edible genetically modified animal. It has been predicted by the media that in the next 2-3 years, the genetically modified salmon will embark on the American table.
