Production of genetically modified fish will not be welcome in Nova Scotia any time soon, according to provincial fisheries minister Keith Colwell.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency on Thursday gave the green light to supermarkets to sell a type of fast-growing genetically modified salmon being developed by U.S.-based AquaBounty. Colwell told the Chronicle Herald Friday that the province is working on policy to officially ban the farming of GM fish here.
“We really don’t want any connection with the GMO salmon. We have a system that works in the province now and that works very well, and we don’t want to interfere with something that works very well,” Colwell said.
