Agriculture committee  My first surprise was that it worked. We didn't know that. That's the kind of thing you hope for. In fact, the growth hormone one was part of the best experiment I ever did. We got results in one year. Normally, I'm looking at years and years of rather straightforward stuff, so t

Agriculture committee  Well, I think that businesses will look after themselves first. If they have a perfectly good business and they see the public being concerned about this product, I can see why they would say they don't want to have anything to do with it. Many of them are publicly traded compani

Agriculture committee  Me personally?

Agriculture committee  Not on these things I don't. I still work with antifreeze proteins because that's my first love, really, why fish don't freeze in the natural world and how they are protected.

Agriculture committee  Just us.

Agriculture committee  We were working on antifreeze proteins. We were one of the first. I'm a physiologist. Choy is a protein chemist, and Peter Davies at Queen's is a molecular biologist. We had started working on the antifreeze protein because it was so unique. There was virtually no genetic work go

Agriculture committee  As I think I said, there's a lot of interest in doing genomics of salmon, a huge amount of work in genomics. The other side of it, knowing my colleagues, is that we're waiting to see what the government does. There was no question when Choy and I started out this was unknown terr

Agriculture committee  The potential is tremendous and it's a great opportunity for those who know how to do it, in my opinion. Some countries are already looking at more offshore production sites. There are other problems, engineering problems that we see in particular, but I think it's a great idea.

Agriculture committee  I don't get the question at all.

Agriculture committee  Yes, whatever the market likes to eat....

Agriculture committee  As far as I know, there have been no breaches of security. In the beginning, the university and the.... By “security” you mean escapes.
