Default Transgenic Trout what do you think?

having read the article by jeff priest in issue 406 of TF i ventured onto the web to do abit more research into transgenic trout and what i found was imo quite shocking.

mutant fish with six packs and hump backs! now im no expert atm but surely thats not natural and what would be the impact on the other fish if they were to be introduced to our fisheries.

atm i belive there being bred for food BUT how long will it be before we see one of these abnormalitys in the net! i for one would not want to see one thats for sure.

if you want to know more follow this link,

please let us know what you think

all the best james.

Disgusting, and in my opinion distrespectful to the animal. There's nothing wrong with breeding trout, and indeed growing them large, but messing around like this is immoral in my opinion
