Not sure if this link works (
In historic first, FDA approves genetically altered salmon ) so I'll copy and paste as well:
"The AquAdvantage contains a gene from its close cousin, the <culink title="" class="culinks" style="font-weight: 400 !important;" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Chinook salmon" culang="en">
Chinook salmon</culink>
, as well as a bit of molecular machinery, takenfrom the ocean pout fish, which turns on the growth gene year-round, instead of only in the warmer months. The added genetic material helps the <culink title="" class="culinks" style="font-weight: 400 !important;" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/AquAdvantage salmon" culang="en">
AquAdvantage salmon</culink>

, a Massachusetts biotechnology company — grow twice as fast as ordinary farmed salmon, even though they eat 10% less food."
They say they actually require less food - please don't think I'm in support of this, anything that potentially affects the ecosystem will always have negative consequences (for those of you who don't believe in a higher power - the world's ecosystems were originally extremely well balanced - one might argue perfectly balanced).
Yes and we fucked them all up...must be God's will....
To play devil's advocate - what if Whiting started using genetically modified roosters to grow better quality feathers for cheaper prices without any webbing?
