The scientists behind the salmon have created safeguards to prevent any danger of them escaping and breeding with the wild population. These include ensuring all the fish involved are female and sterile.
Now where have we heard that before? I call BS on them not being able to escape.
On the environment, a second team of scientists concluded the safeguards put in place by Aqua Bounty would be sufficient to allow production to go ahead.
Yeah because we as humans have such a good track record with this.
While the GM fish are supposed to be sterile, critics said up to 5 per cent might be able to conceive and breed if they got into the wild.
Wait didn't they say earlier in the article that "all the fish involved are female and sterile", now it's 5% percent could breed. So which is it? You can't have your cake and eat too.
