How did you get the cells used to make Wildtype salmon?
The cell line we created to make Wildtype salmon was developed from a small extraction of cells from a juvenile Pacific salmon several years ago. We provide these cells with nutrients similar to those they would get inside a fish – amino acids, sugars, fats, and minerals – and coax them to continue growing and replicating. While we’re working on other species, we no longer need to harvest any more wild or farmed fish for production of Wildtype salmon.
