    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although Qin Shiou was a little annoyed by these people, he still took them to the fishing ground. After all, they were guests of the Fisheries Department and their Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance.

    The water quality of Daqin Fishing Ground attracted these people at the first time. They praised each other on the boat. The boat drove to the pier and walked forward to the shallow water area. The water quality was clear and the sun was bright. You could clearly see the dense seaweed on the bottom of the water, like  grassland.

    Tai Li asked enthusiastically: "Qin, the aquatic plants and seaweed in your fishery are growing really well. What types of plants are you planting? How do you manage them? Can you tell me some secrets?"

    Qin Shiou shrugged with a helpless look and said, "You may also know that my fishery hired Professor Sanders for technical guidance. All this was done under his guidance, so I can't help."

    A technician immediately nodded and said: "Professor Sanders is a leading figure in Canadian marine biology. I didn't expect Mr. Qin to hire him. This is really amazing. As far as I know, many large biological companies cannot hire him."  .¡±

    Literary men look down on each other, and scientists do the same. As the saying goes, science is not second only if literature is not first. Hearing this technician praise Professor Sanders like this, Bledsoe, the chief technical expert of abtx company, was a little unhappy and said: "Sander  Professor Si does have some strength in the traditional breeding industry, but his ability is lacking in the new era of genetically modified technology."

    The technician didn¡¯t respond. He should know who Professor Bledsoe was. He laughed dryly, shut his mouth and left the dock.

    Qin Shiou felt that Bledsoe was a little too narrow-minded. He understood Professor Sanders' ability. The old professor was not only great in his knowledge, but also in his personality. From him, he could really see the qualities of Beidou, the mountain of science.

    In addition, he did not like genetically modified technology, so he said: "We have a saying in China, called the art of slaying dragons in nothing. This is a story about someone who learned the superb skill of slaying dragons, but there are no dragons in the world at all.  So no matter how superb his dragon-slaying skills are, what¡¯s the use?¡±

    Bledsoe, who has a high IQ, immediately understood the meaning of his words and said angrily: "Mr. Qin, do you think genetically modified technology is useless? This is the most promising technology in the 21st century. The emergence of this technology  , allowing mankind to at least take a big step forward in the civilized world!"

    Qin Shiou smiled teasingly and said: "There is a saying in China that if you take big steps, you will easily break your eggs. Therefore, in the civilized world, it is better for human beings to take small steps."

    Bledsoe looked at him straight for a while and said, "I don't think Mr. Qin wants to raise water-quality salmon, does he?"

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

    As he spoke, he used his Poseidon consciousness to find a group of Atlantic salmon, controlled them to surface and swing left and right, revealing their fat and plump bodies, and deliberately let them show off their power on the water.

    Quentin Statham came up to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Of course Qin doesn't want to raise this kind of fish, because there are no large rivers near his fishing ground, so he can't reproduce this kind of fish."

    Atlantic salmon are divided into two types, the terrestrial type and the migratory type. The former lives in freshwater waters throughout its life, and its original habitat is the northern Atlantic Ocean, that is, northeastern North America, the British Islands, and the coast of Scandinavia in Europe.

    The terrestrial Atlantic salmon is a cosmopolitan farmed fish with relatively stable genetic variability and high nutritional value. It is rich in protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids and has good therapeutic effects. There are some in Shenbao Lake.  It is a very rare freshwater fish.

    But most of them are migratory Atlantic salmon, which are the kind raised in fisheries. This kind of fish is born in rivers and grows in the sea. After hatching, it has to return to freshwater rivers and then grow in the sea. They are the mother bodies used by water-quality salmon.

    Qin Shiou just doesn¡¯t want to breed genetically modified Atlantic salmon. What¡¯s the use of growing bigger?  The uncertainty is too great. If these salmon multiply in the fishing grounds, it may even cause the extinction of the original Atlantic salmon. According to research, Atlantic salmon with king salmon have a much better ability to survive in the wild than ordinary Atlantic salmon.  .

    Bledsoe said: "No, you are worrying too much. All our fry have been treated and are parthenogenetically sterile. There is no need for them to enter fresh water to reproduce."

    Indeed, the FDA¡¯s prerequisite for approving the sale of this kind of genetically modified salmon is to require abtx that all genetically modified salmon must be genetically processed to make them single-sex and sterile to prevent them from accidentally mating and breeding with wild salmon and contaminating the genes of wild populations.

    However, the mystery of genes is something that humans have never known so far.?Under control, who knows what accidents may occur in a natural state?  Moreover, who can be sure that these fish have really been gene-edited for reproduction?  What if a few of them still have the ability to reproduce?

    If the FDA and the U.S. government are really not worried about this kind of water-quality salmon, they should be allowed to farm it in the United States instead of only allowing the adult fish to be produced in Panama and the eggs to be produced in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    So far, for twenty years, this fish has only been allowed to be farmed in the unlucky Panama. Because of the scale of Panama¡¯s fisheries, abtx can only produce about 100 tons of salmon per year, compared to the 200,000 tons of Atlantic salmon imported by the United States every year.  , this number is very small.

    In order to occupy more shares in the Atlantic salmon market, abtx has been sparing no effort to promote the legalization of genetically modified fish. The FDA passed the market access review of water-quality salmon a year ago. The reason why they have only come to Canada now is that  It's because Canada has just been persuaded to add a large breeding farm.

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

    This is also one of the reasons for Qin Shiou's dissatisfaction. The Americans are so calculating. What is the difference between this and dumping electronic waste in other countries?  Genetically modified salmon are farmed and processed in foreign countries, and only the fish meat finally enters the United States. Even if there is a problem, all problems can be solved by removing them from the shelves, and there will be no threat to their biological chain.

    But what about Canada?  The FDA lacks environmental risk assessments for Canada and Panama, and believes that due to the protective barriers of land facilities in Panama and Canada, the chance of salmon escaping is very small, so there will be no impact on the U.S. environment.

    ¡° Some things really get disgusting the more you know about them, but fishermen all over North America know the tricks in Shuiyou salmon. Qin Shiou doesn¡¯t believe that anyone is willing to take risks to breed this fish.  It would be okay if all major supermarkets and fish markets opened access to it. Now it is the government that allows market access, and the government does not know how to buy fish, so only fools would raise this kind of fish.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
