Scientists create GM 'Frankenfish' which grows three times as fast as normal salmon | Mail Online: "Scientists have created a genetically modified 'monster' salmon which could soon be on dinner tables around the world.

A U.S. company claims it has been given initial approval by American safety authorities to produce the GM fish which grow two to three times faster than normal varieties.

The net result is that the fish convert their feed to muscle much more quickly and can be killed for the table at a younger age, assuring producers bigger profits."
