Prevent the introduction of the so-called "Frankenfish" (GMO Salmon) into any US waters.

Created by S.L. on January 18, 2013

This GMO Salmon (sometimes called "Frankenfish") has been artificially created to grow much more rapidly than other fish. It has other characteristics that may not yet be precisely identified. The effects on human beings of the potential consumption of this fish, and its effects on natural fish stocks, have not been evaluated. The rush to emplace this creature into our already-stressed fisheries can have disastrous effects if there are traits typical of OTHER GMO organisms in THESE fish.
Please task both the EPA and the FDA to THOROUGHLY evaluate the HEALTH effects on both human beings and also other native creatures in and around the waters they are proposed to be introduced into.
