I have not been in aquaculture for my whole career. I'm a fish physiologist, so I've worked on a lot of other things as well, from physiology to things like that. I only came into this sort of aquaculture thing because we had a particular knowledge about genes and fish. At that time in my career, nobody worked on fish genes. That didn't occur until later. I had the opportunity to work with two colleagues, one being a molecular biologist who was interested in the genes. That's how I got into this whole thing. It was quite amazing really.
I don't think when we transfer the genes that we are creating a new species. I don't think that any systematist would say it's a new species. It's an identical species. It just has a slightly different gene change.
