I've read a news article about GE salmon, but not what genes they added, from what species or Kingdom, or what the intended improvement is.

My guess is something that lets them farm the fish under ever-less-healthy conditions.

I wonder what they use instead of the Agrobacterium plasmids they use to inject genes into plant chromosomes. Also, how mobile the genes continue to be after they're incorporated into the salmon DNA.
