A land-based salmon farm in Indiana is preparing to make its debut on the U.S. market in the coming months after delays due to the pandemic.

The ruling by a federal judge centers on AquaBounty's salmon, which are genetically modified to grow faster than normal salmon. AquaBounty began growing the fish in indoor tanks at an Indiana plant last year.

Indianas first batch of genetically modified salmon eggs arrived last week -- the first genetically modified animal to be sold in the U.S. for human consumption. The company expects the fish will hit the market next year.
