Japanese Creating "Super Tuna"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the delicious-engineering dept.

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."

      You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

    Yes -- but will they be equipped with lasers?
