The salmon has been the first animal to be approved for genetic modifications. even better the genetic modification allows the salmon to grow to meal size in half the time that a normal salmon takes, meaning more salmon will grow to eatable size more quickly to sustain our population.
Unfortunately, this genetically modified salmon has encountered criticism and threats of lawsuits from consumer organizations even though it has been shown that the salmon does not affect human health in any way and is completely safe to eat.
While people argue that the consumer organization needs to consider the fact that encouraging farm bred fish (the genetically modified salmon) will boost the aquaculture industry. This might make the price of salmon cheaper and encourage people to buy more salmon rather than other types of meat which would then give them a more healthy diet. The only downside is that the population of wild fish that is needed to feed the salmon may diminish in number.
either way, the genetically modified salmon will not be the first FOOD to enter a consumer's mouth. it seems that there is genetically modified substances in our corn chips. *_*
