I’m just astonished that it’s considered more cost effective to create disease resistant frankenfish than to, you know, feed them better and keep them in cleaner conditions so they don’t die so much. And, how awful are these farm conditions that CATFISH, the garbage dumpster bottom feeders of the aquatic ecosystem, can’t be brought to maturity in sufficient numbers to be profitable?
I’m reminded of a humorous piece about hippies with two flakey cars, one (US-made) with a wrecked engine but good steering, the other (Japanese) with a good engine but lousy steering. Car #2’s front bumper was tied to Car #1’s rear bumper, to motorvate both vehicles down the road… but they were busted in Alabama for miscegenation (race-mixing). Right. 😎
In the USA South, will ‘gator+catfish hybrids be praised, or outlawed?

What could go wrong?
“Some have ethical concerns about the method, but the hybrid catfish are unable to reproduce because of the way the genes are swapped.”

They’re supposed to be sterile – but so were the cazadores and nightstalkers and the dinos in Jurassic park

I can’t choose between murderous bottom feeders or death rolling catfish
