Do these genes make me look big? The modified rainbow trout boast more flesh per fish.

Mutant trout (left) vs. unmodified trout.

Reminds me of an old joke about crossing a Coho salmon with a wall-eyed pike, followed by a muskie.

They got a Cowalskie.

(insert your own punchline here)

My favorite dish is trout from the Rocky Mountains, when you can find it. The taste of them compared to normal fish is like comparing the taste of free range chicken to battery fed chicken with the Tyson or Purdue label.

Scientists have created hundreds of mutant fish with "six-pack abs" and bulging "shoulders" by beefing them up with new genes.

This sounds like the beginning of a bad sci-fi movie.

I hope they don't plan to do any experiments on any insects of the Formicidae family!

I bet all that muscle makes it a more entertaining catch, as well as a more substantial meal.

It looks like it could use a good worming.

Grotesque. All this messing with genetics makes me nervous. Maybe everything that science can do isn’t necessarily a should do.

Many people don’t know that Chuck Yeager, yeah, the Air Force general, is credited with discovering the rainbow trout in the lakes of the Southern mountains of California.

I am against genetic mutations of plant and wildlife because no one knows what kind of damage they might cause to the indigenous populations should some get out.

Now breeding for accentuated attributes is another story IMO.
