What Will Happen When Genetically Engineered Salmon Escape Into the Wild?

same thing as happens with genetically modified crops. we all get sick

If that's the case they'd all be sterile. They could have an impact on the wild salmon as long as they live, competing for food and such.

Mostly sterile. Triploid fish are never 100% sterile as far as I know.

I want to know which species comprise this genetically engineered fish.

I think they tried to wipe them out. Ya, I would have shot one to. I don't remember the location, but I think it was a veterinarian who owned the operation. People were very concerned when it happened, but not a word since. Not that I am aware of anyway. I never did see any pictures, but I guess the whole idea was to increase antler size. It would be interesting to know what the result is today.

Well when the sky actually doesn;t fall there really isn;t much to report on.

Although these sporstmen orgs that promote poaching and illegal activities for bragging rights and prizes at their trophy nights would have to maybe start a different scoring process other than the Boone and Crocket method........

So before we launch into 10 pagss of bold text, red highlights, and how our forefathers did not invision salmon fisheries to be like this; did I read they were gonna raise them in Panama? Climate controlled waters since I imagine tropical ocean temps are no bueno, even for laser beam shooting salmons. Seems like an April Foolss type story.

I don;t think our Fore Fathers Envisioned much about captive salmon. An interesting link to an article though...
