Chapter 1553

Although Qin Shiou bothered these people, he took them to the fishing ground. After all, this is not only a guest of the Ministry of fisheries, but also a guest of their ring Newfoundland fisheries alliance.

The water quality of Daqin fishing ground attracted these people at the first time. They praised each other on the ship. When the ship drove to the wharf, it was a shallow water area. The water quality was clear and sunny. You could see the dense algae on the seabed under the clear water, just like a grassland.

Terry asked excitedly, "Qin, the growth of aquatic plants and seaweed in your fishing ground is really good. What kind of plants are planted? How do you manage it? Can you tell me some secrets? "

Qin Shiou shrugged, looked helpless and said, "maybe you know, my fishing ground invited Professor Sanders for technical guidance. All this was completed under his guidance, so I can't help."

Immediately, a technician nodded and said, "Professor Sanders is a leader in Canadian marine biology. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin invited him. It's really great. As far as I know, many large biological enterprises can't invite him."

Scholars despise each other, and so do scientists. It is the so-called "literature is no first and science is no second". Hearing this technician praising Professor Sanders like this, Blaise, the chief technical expert of abtx company, was a little unhappy and said: "Professor Sanders does have some strength in the traditional breeding industry, but he is lack of ability in the new era of transgenic technology."

The technician didn't respond. He should know who Professor Blaise was. With a dry smile, he shut up and left the dock.

Qin Shiou thinks that bledso is a little too careful. He knows the ability of Professor Sanders. The old professor is not only knowledgeable, but also his personality. From him, we can really see the quality of the great power in the scientific community.

In addition, he didn't like transgenic technology, so he said: "there is a saying in China, which is called the art of killing dragons in the air. This is a story. It tells that someone has learned the superb ability of killing dragons, but there is no dragon in the world, so what's the use of his superb ability of killing dragons?"

Brysso had a high IQ. He suddenly understood what he meant and said angrily, "Mr. Qin, do you think GM technology is useless? This is the most promising technology in the 21st century. The emergence of this technology has made mankind at least take a big step forward in the civilized world! "

Qin Shiou smiled teasingly and said, "there is another saying in China that it is easy to pull eggs when you step big, so it is better for mankind to take small steps in the civilized world."

Blaise looked at him straight for a moment and said, "I don't think Mr. Qin wants to raise water excellent salmon, does he?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said with a smile, "of course, my fishing ground has a lot of salmon, and they grow very well. I don't want to add competitors to them."

With that, he found a group of Atlantic salmon with Poseidon consciousness, controlled them to float out of the water, swing left and right, show their plump bodies, and deliberately let them show off on the water.

Quentin stanson came up to round the field and said with a smile, "of course Qin doesn't want to raise this kind of fish, because there is no large river near his fishing ground, so he can't complete the reproduction of this kind of fish."

Atlantic salmon can be divided into two types, land-based and migratory. The former lives in freshwater waters all his life, and its original habitat is the North Atlantic, that is, the northeast of North America, the British Isles and the coast of Scandinavia in Europe.

The land-based Atlantic salmon is a world-wide cultured fish with relatively stable genetic variability and high nutritional value. It is rich in protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids and has a good therapeutic effect. There are some in Chenbao lake. It is a very precious freshwater fish.

But most of them are migratory Atlantic salmon, that is, the fish cultured in fishing grounds. This kind of fish grows in the sea in the river. When hatching, it needs to return to the Danshui River and then grow in the sea. They are the mother of Shuiyou salmon.

Qin Shiou just doesn't want to breed GM Atlantic salmon. What's the use of growing big? There is too much uncertainty. If these salmon reproduce in the fishing ground, it may even lead to the extinction of primitive Atlantic salmon - according to the study, Atlantic salmon with King Salmon have much better wild survival ability than ordinary Atlantic salmon.

"No, you're worried. All our fry have been treated. They are unisexual and sterile. They don't need to enter fresh water to reproduce," Blaise said

Indeed, the premise for FDA to approve the sale of such transgenic salmon is to require abtx company to genetically treat all transgenic salmon, resulting in unisexuality and infertility, so as to prevent them from accidentally mating and breeding with wild salmon and polluting the genes of wild populations.

However, the mystery of genes is beyond human control so far. Who knows what accidents will happen in the state of nature? Moreover, who can be sure that these fish are really genetically edited in reproduction? What if a few still have the ability to reproduce?

If the FDA and the U.S. government really don't worry about this kind of water superior salmon, they should be allowed to breed in the United States, instead of only allowing adult fish to be produced in Panama and fish eggs to be produced in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

So far, for 20 years, this kind of fish has only been allowed to be cultured in unlucky Panama. Due to the size of Panama's fishing ground, abtx can only produce about 100 tons of salmon every year, which is very small compared with 200000 tons of Atlantic salmon imported by the United States every year.

Abtx has been sparing no effort to promote the legalization of genetically modified fish in order to occupy more share in the Atlantic salmon market. FDA passed the market access audit of Shuiyou salmon a year ago. The reason why they came to Canada now is that they have just persuaded Canada to add a large farm.

As for the United States? The FDA and the Department of Fisheries prohibit the breeding of genetically modified salmon in fisheries. In their EIA report on genetically modified salmon, they require that salmon must be produced and processed "outside the United States", so as to minimize the threat to the U.S. environment.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Shiou is dissatisfied. The Americans are easy to calculate. What's the difference between this and dumping e-waste in other countries? Genetically modified salmon are farmed and processed in foreign countries, and only fish meat finally enters the United States. Even if there are problems, all problems can be solved once they are off the shelf, which will not pose a threat to their biological chain.

But what about Canada? FDA lacks an environmental risk assessment of Canada and Panama, and believes that due to the protection of land facilities in Panama and Canada, the probability of salmon escape is very small, so it will not have an impact on the environment of the United States.

The more you know about some things, the more disgusting it is. But the fishers all over North America know the fishiness in Shuiyou salmon. Qin Shiou doesn't believe that someone is willing to take the risk to raise this kind of fish. If the major supermarkets and fish markets were open, their access would be OK. Now it is the government that allows market access, and the government will not buy fish. Fools will raise this kind of fish.
