Population effects of growth hormone transgenic coho salmon depend on food availability and genotype by environment interactions.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Devlin, R.H., D’Andrade, M., Uh, M. & Biagi, C.A.
Summary: When transgenic and nontransgenic salmon were cohabitated and competed for different levels of food, transgenic salmon consistently outgrew nontransgenic fish and could affect the growth of nontransgenic cohorts except when food availability was high. When food abundance was low, dominant individuals emerged, invariably transgenic, that directed strong agonistic and cannibalistic behavior to cohorts and dominated the acquisition of limited food resources. When food availability was low, all groups containing transgenic salmon experienced population crashes or complete extinctions.
