DRAMATIC ACCELERATION OF SALMONID GROWTH RATES USING GENETIC MANIPULATION:

Through genetic manipulation, it is possible to dramatically alter the patterns of growth for both Atlantic (Salmo salar) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Using this procedure, manipulated fish can be up to 37 times the size of control fish after one year, and can achieve sexual maturity in h...

Description
Summary:Through genetic manipulation, it is possible to dramatically alter the patterns of growth for both Atlantic (Salmo salar) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Using this procedure, manipulated fish can be up to 37 times the size of control fish after one year, and can achieve sexual maturity in half the time
