Shopkeepers call them "Night Pearls." Some have nicknamed them "Frankenfish." Their makers at the Taipei-based Taikong Corporation use the less catchy name "TK-1" — the world's first genetically engineered fluorescent fish. The Taiwan developers injected the green fluorescent gene of jellyfish into the embryo of ricefish to make the colourless freshwater fish glow in the dark. Environmentalists fear the genetically engineered fish could pose a threat to the earth's ecosystem.
They also plan to introduce multicolour fluorescent pet fish, including red, purple and blue.
Now the fish are about to cross the Pacific and swim into the U.S. market.
Anybody have strong feelings on this.
