Frankenfish: Genetically engineered salmon

Genetically engineered seeds are not breaking news; however a biotech company called AquaBounty has been working on genetically engineered salmon. The fish will be a combination of Atlantic salmon and part Ocean Pout. Jeffrey M. Smith says that it is ridiculous to evaluate the safety of this food with no long term feeding studies six and refuses to consume this genetically engineered salmon, if approved.

Bigger isnt always better...These big bad new batch will probably kill the original fishes and then die themselves and send the ecosystem into a nose dive of mass famine for humanity. This is not a simple story guys GMO is evil. and a ploy to poison humanity and our food supply.

@RAWRRingg I agree that calling this fish Frankenfish is inflammatory. However, what you say about the genetic code being only slightly modified is actually not true. There is no way to simply take a bit of genetic code and insert it into a place on another strand of DNA, since the size of a bit of genetic code verges on quantum mechanical (a handful of large molecules). The best process that has been found is quite disruptive, causing many changes up and down a strand of DNA.

Are you on the FDA payroll or Aquabounty payroll?
