Japanese Creating "Super Tuna"
motherpusbucket writes "The Telegraph reports that Japanese scientists hope to be breeding a so-called 'Super Tuna' within the next decade or so. They have about 60% of the genome mapped and expect to finish it in the next couple months. The new breed will grow faster, taste good, have resistance to disease and will totally kick your ass if you cross them."
Have they bred them with frickin' laser beams though?

"Natural" tuna have had their genes altered through hundreds of years of breading.
Tuna comes pre-breaded now? Talk about a time saver!
Since this is Japan, we would need to be more worried about tentacles. Anything Japanese that has tentacles is bad, bad news for schoolgirls the world over.
Ride the skies
maybe, but what happens if the super tuna out competes and eats all non-super tuna?
Darwin wins. See, tuna made themselves to tasty that:
1) They'd be overfished.
2) We'd see that, and then make them EVEN BETTER and plentiful.
Well done tuna. You've won the genetic lottery.
We should hunt them to near-extinction. Then they'll get put on the extinction list and all tuna fishing will be banned. Then my roommate will have to find a different terrible-smelling food to eat. . . in mass quantities . . . EVERY evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuna Power!
Are you advocating that people try to grow fish in their gardens?
Undoubtedly the first message from the Super Tuna Council will be:
ALL YOUR BAYS ARE BELONG TO US.
Perhaps developing tasty humans would address food and population issues simultaneously.
