That was the health side of things.
On the genetic issue that was raised, the problem is that these fish will compete. They're quite capable of interbreeding with wild Atlantic salmon. They are also capable of competing with them for food, and given that they're engineered to grow more rapidly than normal fish, one assumes they will be very hungry and will take up a great deal of the food supply. Those Atlantic salmon that we have left on east coast are in a perilous state and cannot withstand that kind of interference. The only answer to CEPA toxicity that was given in the risk assessment was containment, and that requires a company to have a culture of safety that treats its biosecurity seriously. We have grave concern that is not the case with AquaBounty.
