Greenpeace to Protest Gene-Altered Fish
BOSTON — The environmental group Greenpeace plans to protest at a seafood trade show today over the possibility that genetically engineered fish could be approved for sale as food in the United States.
Scientists are experimenting with ways to modify fish genes--to make fish grow faster, for example--and the Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow public sale of such fish.
Greenpeace plans demonstrations outside Boston today as the International Boston Seafood Show, expected to attract thousands of vendors, gets underway.
Greenpeace officials say they are concerned that genetically engineered fish are unsafe.
