From the AP link at the NY Times:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The nation's first genetically altered household
pet -- a fish that glows in the dark -- is set to begin appearing in stores
next month everywhere except perhaps California, the only state with a ban
on lab-engineered species.

On Wednesday, the California Fish and Game Commission is scheduled to take
up an application from Yorktown Technologies of Austin, Texas, to market
the GloFish in California.




How long before these show up in Bait Shops??

My guess is that they will have no chance in the wild. Kind of like the
whet squirrels we had in our neighborhood a few years ago - the hawks made
short work on them when spring hit. I can imagine one of them sitting up in
the branches thinking he was invisible, and then *swoop*!

There are a number of "designer" fishes out there now. "Designer"
Atlantic Salmon have been submitted to the FDA for approval. The company
that developed them has standing orders for The Atlantic Salmon have
gotten most of the press but there are over 35 different "species" being
developed. There are engineered carp and tipalia that have been
developed and are in production in China and Cuba.
