"Scientists" mocking nature.

I'm sure this will turn out well...

Finally.

I love salmon. As long as it's processed in Canada, I'd buy it.

I think we should hold out for the self-cleaning fish.

Salmon farms doing nothing but harm to wild salmon and the ecosystem. Nothing to support on a regular basis

Contrary to what many may think, we've been genetically modifying foods for a long time. This shouldn't surprise anyone. My wife is an accountant at a genomics research facility and she talked of this a couple years ago.

Neither one of us is sold on the idea...

Pretty much every food crop has been genetically modified to be what it is today. Same goes for livestock. The only difference is that it was done through artificial selection (i.e., picking offspring for the next generation based on desirable traits) instead of under a microscope.

But whether it's done in a lab or on the farm, the results are the same. So the fear mongering around GMOs from the perspective that they might hurt us is unfounded. There are of course other reasons to dislike GMOs.

I recently listened to a talk on fish farming and how it's changed significantly in the last few years and is on the path to being the more ecologically sound choice. The big change is that operators are using closed pens so that the farmed fish populations don't affect wild stocks, and the feed being use is a mixture of fish processing by-products, plants and insects. This is more sustainable than open pen fish that eat dead bait fish and whatever wanders into their pens. The thing is closed pens aren't cheap, so it's tough to get folks on board.

There is a darn good reason for closed pen fish farming ..
