Genetically modified salmon which grow at twice the speed of their natural counterparts are safe to be farmed and eaten, US regulators have ruled. The decision by scientists from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) paves the way for the first GM animal to be sold as food. The fish, called AquAdvantage salmon, could be on American plates within two to three years, raising fears among environmental and food-safety campaigners.

What happens when one of those Salmons escapes and mates with wild ones?
Foodthing-gummies come in, stuff happens, other stuff happens because of the first stuff happening, loop, repeat, and then other other stuff happens and some stuff stops happening.

I would imagine the likelihood is that they wouldn't survive in the wild. But we can't be sure. The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

but it's nothing more than an ad. I suspect that even a phone call to one of their scientists won't give me more than company bullshit.
Will they escape? Will they successfully breed? Look at it like drilling for oil ... expect the worst. These clowns are out to make money, PERIOD!
The downside of human consumption ... very little; that's why you have a stomach and small intestine, unless the fish are full of sterols and poison.
The information you need is locked up in the company research notebooks and only a Wikileak event will give you the truth, if the information IS there. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Yes.

Science and Technology at the service of sociopaths.
How truly wonderful.
So YEAH, not good.
Excuse me while I continue to manufacture my endospore coating. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
