longer have any wild salmon populations, and Norwegian wild salmon as a
whole have declined by 80% since the 1970s. This disappearance of wild
salmon is not limited to Norway, it is a global phenomenon. The
explanation is not only the standard one of overfishing. Instead, it is
primarily a consequence of the escape in massive numbers of salmon from
fish farms. These escapees are artificially boosting official estimates
of wild populations but at the same time are chauffeuring wild salmon
populations to extinction. The mechanism is that well-fed but
genetically uniform and ultimately maladapted farmed fish are mating
with wild fish and swamping the native gene pools. Canada and AquaBounty
have well advanced plans for a GE salmon to enter the market. What
would be the impact of GE salmon on wild populations?</p><p><strong><a title="Link to Dr. Gerry Goeden’s blog" href="http://gerrygoeden.blogspot.com/">Dr. Goeden</a></strong>,
a marine biologist, succinctly summarizes the scientific issues behind a
little known yet major threat to wild fisheries. His analysis raises
many vital ecological and social questions: What implications does the
salmon research have for other farmed and non-farmed fish? What would be
the impact on food security and human health of a world empty of wild
salmon? With the elimination of wild salmon, who would control the
world’s supply of salmon?</p><p>Read Dr. Goeden’s full article at: <a title="Links to full ISN article: What Will The World Inherit From GE Salmon?
