Title: Genetically modified salmon
Post by: Easywater on September 07, 2010, 03:50:16 PM

Washington Post article on genetically modified Atlantic salmon:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/06/AR2010090602424.html

"AquAdvantage is an Atlantic salmon that has been given a gene from the ocean pout, an eel-like fish, which allows the salmon to grow twice as fast as a traditional Atlantic salmon. It also contains a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon."
