So far, genetic material (DNA) of
jawless, cartilaginous and bony fishes only could have been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
Are there any more initiatives that have been made or is going on for popularising GM fish, worldwide?
Personally, I have objection to all GM foods. As these are coming to the market without long term effect study on human being, there is always some chance of development many diseases from these.
These are not come through natural selection, so our body systems are not accustomed with these.
Please have a look at this useful RG link.
Article Genetically modified fish: potentially complex traceability
A number of genetic engineering researchers in America have been able to produce genetically modified fish with a growth rate of ten times the rate of growth of normal fish and is expected to start selling these fish to consumers in about a year ..
The question is good, the benefit of the variety of answers,Genetic modification of some marine organisms is scientifically important,
