Dawn of the Frankenfish

 

Food science: fast growing genetically modified trout and salmon could be the first transgenic animals on the table.

 

The Belgian blue is an ugly but tasty cow that has
40% more muscle than it should have. It is the product
of random mutation followed by selective breeding as,
indeed, are all domesticated creatures. But where an
[5] old art has led, a new one may follow. By understanding
which genetic changes have been consolidated in the
Belgian blue, it may be possible to design and build
similar versions of other species using genetic
engineering as a short-cut. That is precisely what Terry
[10] Bradley, a fish biologist at the University of Rhode
Island, is trying to do. Instead of cattle, ______ is doing
it in trout. ______ is one of two projects that may soon
put the first biotech animals on the dinner table.

Crustaceans

 

    The world of the crustaceans is a world of bizarre shapes and adaptations. This group of animals is probably best known for their hard outer shell. As the animal grows, this shell must be removed and discarded. Once this takes place, the new shell takes time to harden. During this period, the animal is without its primary means of protection and vulnerable to attack from predators. But they have an impressive arsenal of weapons at their disposal. The claw of many crustaceans is capable of exerting hundreds of pounds of pressure. Some even have the unique ability to produce a deafening miniature sonic boom with which they stun their prey. The mantis shrimp can even break the glass of an aquarium or split a man's thumb to the bone with one strike. But in spite of their impressive armor and fierce weaponry, the crustaceans do occasionally meet their match. The teeth of the triggerfish and the beak of the octopus can crack through the toughest shells of crabs and lobsters, making an enjoyable meal.
