Scientists demonstrated the fast-growing fish in 1989. The growth-hormone gene from Chinook salmon applied. By genetic regulatory elements from a third species, the ocean pout. Meanwhile,the manipulations genetically enable the salmon to produce low level of growth hormone.

However, AquaBounty salmon grown in tanks, no chance of many of the pathogens and parasites that often trouble salmon raised in sea cages. First the Bio engineering technology developed by AquaBounty in 1990.At last, it took 25 years for US regulator and FDA to approve consumption of salmon in November 2015.
