Allowing the AquAdvantage Salmon into our streams and rivers will not harm the natural fish population.

Genetically altered salmon is bad for human health, as it contains more chemicals than wild salmon, and it is bad for the environment, as the genetically altered fish are raised in overcrowded, netted ocean pens.

Answer 1

The piece of evidence that BEST supports the author's claim in the article "Genetically Modified Salmon Can Feed the World" is:

If used carefully, genetic engineering can produce fish that reach the market much faster such as AquAdvantage Salmon states, and use less feed (fish meal).

This statement emphasizes the potential benefits of genetically engineered salmon, which aligns with the article's argument for the positive impact of genetically modified salmon on food production and sustainability.
