　　National Public Radio recently reported that a new retrospective study found that it is not clear how genetically modified salmon will affect wild salmon and its ecosystem if it escapes into the wild.

　　The scientists made the above conclusion after reviewing more than 80 studies that analyzed the differences in growth, behavior and other characteristics between genetically modified Atlantic salmon bred by the biotechnology company AquaBounty Technologies and traditional farmed salmon. For nearly 20 years, the company has been applying to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval of genetically modified Atlantic salmon that grows faster and larger than its counterparts, but there is no final conclusion yet. Although company executives said that this type of escape is "impossible" because salmon will grow in land tanks, many environmentalists have not been convinced.
