Coming soon to your supermarket: GM salmon

by James Yu, Posted Jan 11th 2006 @ 3:36PM

The FDA is getting ready to approve a new genetically modified salmon which grows twice as fast as normal farm-raised salmon. The trick is altering a gene that controls the production of growth hormones. The company behind the technology is Aqua Bounty, and they say that the modification of the growth hormone does not affect taste or raise any health concerns. What do you think? Are you ready for super big GM salmon on your shelves?

Unless, the modified them so they can't breed? Can we hope?
