#4 This is why.

"AquaBounty’s salmon are modified for fast growth with genes from two other fish. The company, which has attempted to get its product approved in the US since 1995, claims that the salmon will grow twice as quickly as wild salmon and will need 25% less feed to reach full size."

Not against the idea in general, but the doubt expressed about our civil servants' ability to prevent bad outcomes is well founded.
