During the past week and the week before, the Omega science classes have been to the library constantly to research 1 of 8 topics assigned to us, but one that in my opinion has most appeal is the Genetically Modified fish which I would like to further collaborate on. These fish are under controversy, because of some of the new unpredicted risks. These fish are solely created for the market or pets but never to be released into the wild. For if they may be released these fish will spread on the “Trojan gene”. Some scientists say that if just one were released into the wild, it could eliminate an entire species of natural fish. These fish grow at exponential rate making them perfect for the market, and since these fish are easier to maintain and easier to grow the regular prices of all fish are expected to lower to keep up with consumer demand. These fish would also make for great novelties because of there special characteristics. In my opinion I am pro-choice for Genetically Modified fish and I believe this will open up many doors for upcoming generations in the research of genetics.
