 Fish with six-pack Abs could benefit aquaculture  Scientists develop an ultra-muscular trout that can grow more body mass without any increase in food.
The trout are bizarrely muscular, with rippling abdomens that resemble six-pack abs and dorsal humps that give the impression of bulked-up shoulders. But these bodybuilder fish didn’t just develop that way on their own; a University of Rhode Island scientist spent 10 years genetically engineering them for increased muscle mass, according to Science Daily. But the same muscle mass that could increase yield at fisheries could also help the fish break out and wreak havoc on the environment. U.S. fisheries already have significant problems with escapes, hence the current problems with invasive Asian carp in the Mississippi River Basin and beyond.
Researchers who have studied the effects of escaped transgenic fish recommend breeding them in closed systems on land to prevent such occurances, especially because genetically engineered fish are often able to overtake native species. That thing is just to ugly to eat IMO.

JMO but I'm not impressed. I wish they'd spend more time on breeding more disease resistant trout and developing more vaccines.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I was going to post that earlier today, but thought Blueberry Drenched Pancakes would suffer.
Sorry!

What in god's name?? Jeepers it is some ugly. I wouldn't eat it, heck I wouldn't even want to catch it.
I'm with Cecil; 10 years to pack more muscle on a trout, how about increased O2 tolerances or water temp variation adaptability... something useful in a changing environment.

That looks like a freaking sack of taters, not a fish. All lumpy and deformed, I'd be afraid to touch that, I'd cut my line and say 3 hail mary's.
