DNA altered Superfish

I think your taking this to seriously. I think if we are going to engineer a fish by messing with it's DNA then YES, it will live a long normal life. Maybe breath air and speak French...........
This is NOT common sense, we are just having a little fun.
A French speaking catfish does sound pretty cool!!! If any fish could talk, I think it b a catfish 
Only problem would b I couldn't understand it, I don't speak French. Dam catfish could b talkin smack bout me n wouldn't even kno it!!!

Course were just thinking hypothetically. But you asked me is this a rule did I find this on Bob's shorter life. com. then call me screwy. Sounded a little serious to me. If you think it wouldn't have short life then tell us why. don't call me screwy cause you just don't agree.
I prefer the natural order of things when it comes to stuff like this, us humans messed with nature enough that by now we should know better

i'm with fat homer on this one, i think i'd prefer the natural order of things...
"Farming" saltwater fish is just a bad idea...since they are literally held in "pens" out in the ocean. THese fish can escape and pass on genes (some are sterilized, some are not). Also, farmed fish in poor conditions are susceptible to diseases that can be spread to wild fish. Tilapia is a GREAT example of how sustainable freshwater fish can take the place of some saltwater fish. Tilapia breed readily and the fry are easy to raise. Most salt fish (outside of salmon and their mighty yoke sacks) require specialized care and food during early life. The global numbers of fish caught and the money involved is MIND BOGGLING. the US alone makes 31 billion a year in the fishing industry. 31 BILLION. More than 170 BILLION tons of fish are caught every year for food and production of food in the world...these numbers only continue to rise yearly. A great example of what not to do is Alaskan pollock. Once cod went dry (used to see 6' cod, now it's a 2' fish...big breeders are caught and gone...only the little ones are left to pass on genes) we switched to pollock, now we are doing the same to it.
Boy, sorry to high jack the thread with all my hippy-earth-love stuff...it's just a sore subject with me. How can you keep and raise fish in your home and not appreciate the wonders of nature and the desire to allow generations beyond us to enjoy it as well? It's selfish and ignorant...all in the name of the almighty dollar. Now, somebody gene-splice me that mini shark-topus.
