AquaBounty (AQB)

In August of 2017, AquaBounty made its first sale of its genetically modified AquAdvantage salmon to unnamed customers in Canada.

The company later revealed in an interview with the CBC that the buyers of 4.5 metric tons of the company's fish were using it in high-end sashimi items.


The first harvest of 2021 is scheduled to be conducted at the end of May 2021 from the company’s Indiana farm. AquaBounty will continue to ramp production to its full capacity throughout the year, it said.

Samuels and Son Seafood, a Philadelphia-based seafood distributor of AquaBounty’s Atlantic salmon, has been the only customer so far to publicly announce it is selling the salmon.
