Genetically engineered salmon?

I also saw that this was going to be on the news, missed it, but that article is a good read.

Here are the concerns that peaked my curiousity most. If there is a chance that it could happen, I think it is likely that it will:

They also worry that the fish will escape and intermingle with the wild salmon population, which is already endangered.They would grow fast and consume more food to the detriment of the conventional wild salmon, the critics fear

The company has several safeguards in place to quell concerns. The fish would be bred female and sterile, though a small percentage might be able to breed. They would be bred in confined pools where the potential for escape would be low.

Low, to me means that it is possible. Just like the asian carp flooding out of farmers ponds and now scaring the crap out of great lakes anglers....

ok so engineer Salmon, what are they going to eat. The waters can only support more fish if there is enough of a food source for them to eat. Then we must engineer plankton and plant more forage fish for the salmon to eat. by the time there done we might as re-engineer our selfs.remove the pollutants from the water , cool off our world then things might improve. bad idea to say the least.We have to stop poisoning our selfs!!!!
