WASHINGTON — Fearing for the wild salmon industry in the Northwest, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state wants to stop the Food and Drug Administration from making a quick decision on whether to approve genetically modified Atlantic salmon for human consumption.

Murray and Young are part of a growing bipartisan coalition on Capitol Hill that's out to stop a Massachusetts biotechnology company from winning federal approval to sell its fast-growing fish, which critics are calling "Frankenfish."

Not only will non-indigenous species kill off the natives, so will the genetically enhanced. It will only be a matter of time...........

On a lighter side, anyone see the trout with 2 mouths in the Denver Post earlier this week? One jaw was right below the other one.

From the first article:

“I’m going to smoke it up and eat it.”

I think I'd just let the scientists have the fish, so we could all find out just what caused the mutation.
