In reply to Ena Valikov DVM.

Hi Ena, Please send me source information on any risks associated with GMO fish where genetic information has been grafted to alter the speed of growth within a species. The current fish that the FDA is approving has undergone 10 years of development and testing. Has an independent test lab looked at this GMO? I’ll be happy to publish it.

This is a terrible idea for public health, the environment and an animal welfare atrocity. Please read the morphological descriptions of the fish related to triploidy….fin anomalies, heart anomalies, jaw anomalies, inflammatory lesions. To my knowledge there are no feeding trials examining the health implications of an animal who will be producing elevated levels of IGF1, a hormone associated with elevated risks of certain cancers.
