More to the point, how long before these show up in the wild?

My guess is that they will have no chance in the wild.


i would think that is a good guess stan..... they will be fodder....
here in the south for sure.



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.

Hmmm, do the salmon die after they spawn? A king salmon that would not
die after spawning would be kind of cool. Can this be done?

I work at a nuclear power station on a major fresh water fishery. So, this
is new??

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.

It says on their website that they are selectively bred zebra fish.

I was expecting some genetically modified creature. Rainbow trout the skin
of which had the chromatophores from a squid or cuttlefish. The fish could
flash signals to you such as; fast red flash- wrong fly, flashing yellow-
bad cast ROTBLMAO, slow green - I'm hungry.
I was in an aquarium once and showed some kids that the squid would turn red
if you held some red next to the tank wall, yellow if something yellow etc.
Successive groups of kids kept the things going for a couple of hours I
wonder if squid suffer from pallet depletion.
