吳郭魚是排名蝦、鮭魚和罐頭鮪魚後，全球消費量第四大的海產品，Intrexon公司與其集團下的AquaBounty Technologies宣布，他們所共同開發的FLT 01基因編輯吳郭魚（ tilapia），經阿根廷國家農業生物技術諮詢委員會認定，因為不含任何外源基因，因此可以免除基因改造法令規範，這將是史上首批無須受法令監管的基因編輯食用肉品之一。

GERMANTOWN, Md. and MAYNARD, Mass., Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Intrexon Corporation (NASDAQ: XON), a leader in the engineering and industrialization of biology to improve the quality of life and health of the planet, and AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQB), a biotechnology company focused on enhancing productivity in the aquaculture market and a majority-owned subsidiary of Intrexon, announced that their jointly developed gene edited line of tilapia, FLT 01, is exempt from GM regulation according to Argentina’s National Advisory Commission on Agricultural Biotechnology (CONABIA). This line of tilapia enables more sustainable production through improvements in fillet yield, growth and feed conversion efficiency, enabling the tilapia to grow to market weight in less time, while also consuming less feed than conventional varieties.
The engineered tilapia were developed using gene editing techniques and do not contain any foreign DNA or a new combination of genetic material that would warrant their regulation as genetically modified in Argentina. FLT 01 is believed to be one of the first gene edited food animals to receive a regulatory exemption due to its designation as a non-GMO. As the companies look to move this product toward commercialization, standard food and environmental safety considerations will still apply to this product prior to introduction.
