    I agree with this. Genetic testing is by far a great way towards improving our food quality, however it must be taken with a tentative step. One wrong move and it could mean the end of an ecosystem. We should take other alternatives before resorting to it.

    I do believe that salmon and all animals in general need a high genetic diversity so as to better adapt to their environment. Without the variable genes, populations would eventually become stagnant and ultimately die off from an exotic disease and inbreeding.

    I agree. We need to find some better way to handle either the declining population of wild salmon or how to handle the destructive nature of domesticated salmon so that they do not pose a threat to wild salmon populations, and possibly strengthen their numbers. We should be looking at both new and effective methods to raise wild salmon populations and look into the genetic code of the domesticated salmon to better their survival.
