>>>>>Reuters, Dec 24, 2012 FDA CLOSER TO APPROVING BIOTECH SALMON, CRITICS FURIOUS  http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/12/21/us-usa-fish-gmo-idUSBRE8BK16O20121221?feedType=RSS&feedName=healthNews

Critics say the new salmon is a "dangerous experiment" considered as a new "animal drug application"not food, and have pressured the FDA to reject it. They say the FDA has relied on outdated science and substandard methods for assessing the new fish. "We are deeply concerned that the potential of these fish to cause allergic reactions has not been adequately researched," said Michael Hansen, a scientist at the Consumers Union.

By getting a better read on demand, excess fish can be returned to the sea unharmed.

Last year's tsunami absolutely devastated the Japanese fishing industry, leaving fishermen without ports to sell their catch. One company's innovative method of finding replacement buyers in the wake of disaster could wind up solving an even bigger environmental issue: overfishing.
