In 2008, after what has been referred to as an "unusually severe storm," a Panama facility for genetically engineered AquAdvantage® Salmon lost its first commercial-size batch of fish. The entire batch—poof!—vanished.

The salmon were created at a facility on Canada's Prince Edward island by fertilizing the eggs of non-GE Atlantic salmon with milt from GE males, to produce what AquaBounty Technologies—a biotechnology company focused on enhancing productivity in the aquaculture market—describes as an advanced-hybrid salmon designed to grow faster than its conventional siblings.
