Also: AquAdvantage salmon, GloFish, GM animals, fluorescent zebrafish
Animals carrying added genes. AquAdvantage salmon grows faster using a growth hormone gene and was the first GM animal approved as food in the US (2015). GloFish are fluorescent pet fish developed from research zebrafish.
Readiness: lab lab studies · prototype demonstrated objects · commercial products or buildings in real use · review summaries of other studies.
Choe and colleagues reviewed transgenic fluorescent zebrafish lines and their impact on biomedical research; such lines are the origin of GloFish pets.
