Keta or sockeye, nothing else will do.

I believe GM foods have their place (desert cultivation, space travel, etc) but their use in normal environment will screw up the nature’s natural processes. I try to avoid GM as much as possible and go local and organic. Not possible always but you do not overeat the process and modified crap.

“They also are confined to pools where the potential for escape would be low: The inland pens are isolated from natural bodies of water...”

Ohhhh, like we did with jumping asian carp!

"there are several safeguards designed to prevent the fish from escaping and breeding with wild salmon."

Isn't that what they said about Killer Bees?

[Boogieman]

"Aquabounty executives say if their fish are approved for commercial sale, there are several safeguards designed to prevent the fish from escaping and breeding with wild salmon. The salmon are bred as sterile females. They also are confined to pools where the potential for escape would be low: The inland pens are isolated from natural bodies of water..."

Hmmn - so, salmon could grow twice as fast. And this is wrong in just what way?

[dennisw]

No way these salmon don’t taste like watered down shit. I would not eat them. Tilapia either

[Ezekiel]

Salmon that has been genetically modified to grow twice as fast as normal could soon show up on American dinner plates.

Expect disappointment just like with those sea monkeys.

My wife and I were talking about this last night over supper. I have some experience with GMO crops, none with animals, but in the past these “isolated populations” get into the wild eventually.

Not sure this is a good idea.
