Environmental groups and seafood companies are expressing concern over the introduction of genetically modified salmon.
They’re calling on the federal government to ensure transparent regulation of G-M fish.
A joint letter signed by 21 environmental groups and seven seafood companies asks Ottawa to establish mandatory G-M food labelling.
The group says the government could soon grant permission for the company AquaBounty to produce its G-M Atlantic salmon at one or more sites in Canada, including PEI.
