US decision after 17-year battle over fast-growing salmon could pave way for same step in Britain

A GM salmon which grows twice as fast as ordinary fish could become the first genetically-modified animal in the world to be declared officially safe to eat, after America's powerful food-safety watchdog ruled it posed no major health or environmental risks.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it could not find any valid scientific reasons to ban the production of GM Atlantic salmon engineered with extra genes from two other fish species – a decision that could soon lead to its commercial production

I wonder what they debated on for 17 years that held it up?

Look at those other interesting GM creations. hmmmm

As long as it tastes good I'm all for it. I love salmon but it is bloody expensive, so would be nice if this led to it being a bit cheaper.

And from a human point of view NOW it's all for the sports fisherman to be equally respected as the environmentalist for obeying the law. In the same regions where there is GM salmon there is also gamed fish salmon. Is this the best of all possible worlds though.

Of course, in the un-engineered days there was the mutant and lamppray attacked salmon.

when i was growing up, we had locks ( smoked salmon ) & bagels, something that jews like to eat for breakfast occasionally or at party. salmon is expensive to buy. in my family, we had a few times a year. when my father was alive. he loved have locks & bagels on sunday, when we can afford it. with this fish, and the fish make salmon cheaper, i can afford. scientists is calling this fish " frankenfish ", it can be call that yet. it is only officially, if syfs make a tv movie out of the fish.
