Is salmon dangerous?

Next time you are a delicious salmon steak, should you be worrying about the quality of the fish, rather than the cost? Salomon has been in the news recently for several different reasons…

Fishermen on America’s West Coast are extremely concerned about a new genetically altered species of “super-salmon”. Critics are calling it the “Frankenfish” (Frankenstein) because they believe the super-salmon, which is marketed as an inexpensive and healthy source of protein for human, could wipe out normal salmon by eating them or breeding with them.
Concern is growing due to as Us Food and Drug Administration (FDA) study that will focus on whether species like these should be released into the wild. The US National Academy of Sciences is also working on another study into biological methods of cofining the super-salmon, for example making some of fish sterile.
