Super breed of salmon?
NZPA-AP Seattle A plan to create a super breed of sexless salmon has been hatched by the State Department of Fisheries, which has released 150,000 of the young cohoe into Paget Sound. The experiment is designed to create cohoe that will ignore the biological urge to spawn and die, thus living longer and growing larger. Supporters say it could greatly improve sports fishing in Puget Sound by doubling the size of some cohoe and letting them live two years longer than their typical three years.
