Bridging the Seafood Gap
With the global population expected to grow close to nine billion people by 2050, experts are projecting the demand for animal protein to double (1). As it stands today, seafood has already gained significant market share, causing 90% of the world's fisheries to be fully fished or overfished (2).
AquaBounty used advanced genetics one time 30 years ago and is helping meet the growing global demand with a safe, secure and sustainable Atlantic salmon – one that also satisfies consumers' desires for fresh, great-tasting and nutritious seafood.

Protecting Our Fish – and Our Customers
Fish farming is not new. People have been using traditional methods like sea cages and net pens for decades. As they are located along the coast in seas or bays, these environments are at risk for disease, contaminants and predators, which can have undesired effects on the marine ecosystem.
Innovative technologies, like those used in AquaBounty's highly controlled, land-based fish farms, eliminate these risks, including the need to treat fish with antibiotics. In turn, consumers can enjoy safe and delicious salmon; restaurants and grocers can rely on a consistent, high-quality supply; and everyone can feel good about a farming method that conserves precious natural resources.
