----------------------------------------



The Food and Drug Administration is set to hear from a key advisory
panel today as it considers whether to approve the sale of genetically
modified salmon in the United States. The salmon, from the company Aqua
Bounty Technologies, would be the first genetically modified animal on
the US market. An FDA panel of top medical experts will weigh in today
on whether the engineered salmon is safe to eat.
