botzsurfstripers Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The FDA wants to take genetically modified salmon and release it into the oceans to mix with all the other wild fish. So now you will not know if its truly wild Salomon on not. Go to this website to vote against this crazy act ************/nofrankenfish Putting my time in!!!!

buz23 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I dunno, if someone came up with a striper that grew twice as fast I'd love it. I don't buy the notion that eating these things is bad for you, but share your concern that they could compete with the "wild" breed. But the fishing community is putting the wild salmon at risk of extinction anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Fish farming has certainly done its share of damage. Â When it comes to eating genetically modified foods, I'm fine with it.

Mike_Z Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Do they really want to release GMO fish into the wild or is this just a scare tactic? People want to eat fish and I'd much rather encourage farming vs commercial killing of wild fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The farmed fish escape into the wild and cause problems as it is. Pens break in storms,fish escape, etc. Â Somehow I doubt there just gonna turn them loose into the wild.I assume the above is scare tactic.

SteppinOnFlounder Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ok I went to the site and they are trying to stop it but dont say why. I think it's a great idea because it means these fish spend less time in mercury polluted waters, translating into less in my body. Also, You can identify wild salmon by the adipose fin.

SteppinOnFlounder Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I didn't say they were one in the same. But aside from the growth rate I couldn't find any difference in the two. However I'm not saying there aren't any. Thus far there isnt enough to warrant a campaign against it. So ain't gonna start bitchin for no reason. I dont fear an altered chromosome.

squidder 329 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I've eaten the GMO beef and it has no flavor, they enhance the color with dye. We currently buy organic beef and enjoying it just not as often. Once those fish are out there , there is no going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
