genetically engineered salmon

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100920/ap_on_bi_ge/us_modified_salmon

if this happens, do you think it will be implemented in other fish and ever make it to our fishing waters?

    I just rushed thru the story but, I think that would just take place on a fish farm. Shouldn't affect our fisheries.

    My Wife said, if I go fish'n one more time, she'll leave me! God, I'm going to miss her!

    I just watched the story. If its on a farm I say do it, but god knows something is bound to go wrong.

    BY selectively cross breeding and manipulating the desired characteristics of our current steelhead haven't we been doing the same thing (although slowly) for years.

    Nope, not shopped. The first one is a wolf fish.  http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/10/03/save_me.jpg

    The second was a carcass found in California. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/11/13/one_big_fish.jpg

    I don't see why it would be a big deal even if they got out. 

    They can't reproduce.
