Steve, the process is humane with no harm done to the fish. This is not a fish that is injected or tattooed with a dye or some other similar process. These are genetically modified organisms, the gene for production the florescent protein is introduced to the fish's cells in the early embryonic stage and becomes a part of the fish's DNA. Once the fish has grown to maturity it can be bred and will pass on the florescent protein gene to its offspring, so once there is a sufficient breeding population at the fish farm it is a "natural" process, as much a line breeding for regular color varieties is, no more production in the lab is required.arlenezk4 says:

Thanks Matt for putting it out there. I live hilo side Big Island and found out my representative from my district was one of the authors of the Bill. We lost most the east side of this island to lava flow. Our fisherman lost there main launch ramp to this super productive reef area. I said how can she sponser a bill ,when our fisherman are having a hard time just reaching old fishing areas.. We are barely surving. Aloha
