| “Q: AquaBounty calls the AquAdvantage™ an “advanced hybrid” fish and the company’s president Ronald Stotish said recently on CNN that there is not “any material difference between the AquaBounty salmon and an Atlantic salmon.” Is this fish an Atlantic salmon? And is it a hybrid or a genetically modified animal? A: The AquAdvantage™ salmon is an Atlantic salmon with a Chinook salmon growth gene inserted into its DNA. In addition, a regulator protein from a fish called an ocean pout has been added to the Chinook growth gene turning the gene permanently in the “on” position. It is a genetically modified animal.” https://www.good.is/articles/everything-you-need-to-know-about-genetically-modified-salmon What about the ‘Ocean Pout’ with its regulator protein? “NON-KOSHER FISH Pout See: Ocean pout = Ocean pout or eelpout (Macrozoarces americanus) https://www.kashrut.com/articles/fish/#oceanpout” So, it appears Atlantic Salmon is not something I would want to eat due to the added regulator protein of the Ocean Pout, a fish that does not meet the scriptural requirements; at least as far as I can determine. |
