Study: GM Salmon Will Make Mutant Babies With Wild Fishselfnews Post Canadian scientists have determined that if genetically modified salmon get into the wild, they will breed with wild fish and pass on their modified genes. The study also showed that the mutant offspring proved to be more aggressive than both the GM salmon and the wild fish. The study published today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society is the first of its kind todemonstrate environmental impacts of hybridization between a GM animal and a closely related species. The study determined: Dr Darek Moreau, from the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, who conducted the study told the BBC : [Under hatchery conditions] the transgenic hybrids grew faster than the wild salmon, wild trout and wild-type hybrids. The GM hybrids also outgrew the GM salmon. AquaBounty has stipulated that we will market only sterile, all female AquAdvantage salmon, said CEO Ron Stotish. Read other articles by selfnews Post Here
