You can go to the company website at

http://www.aquabounty.com/products/products-295.aspx

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.

Hey, I keep saying we're in deep shit. China runs the corporations. Corporations run our governments. The governments make the rules. They have plenty of armies, bombs, police, jails, etc. to enforce the rules. They have control of much of the media and they're dumbing down kids like it's Brave New World (sort of).

So YEAH, not good.

Excuse me while I continue to manufacture my endospore coating.

Will they successfully breed?

But the real question is: "Will their progeny out-compete wild salmon?" Doubtful. Hormones, pollution and increased anti-biotic resistant bacteria are the likely downsides. Already, if wild salmon get near salmon farm pens they are at risk for infections present in farmed salmon but not in wild and controlled by anti-biotics to which the wild salmon dont' have access. The wild salmon should have Medicare Part D.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
