Abstract

The production of transgenic salmon using gene transfer technology is described. Both antifreeze proteins and growth hormone genes have been successfully transferred. The expression, inheritance and phenotypes are examined using a wide variety of techniques. The development of new transgenics will be beneficial to aquaculture.
