Fashionable Fish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | GloFish are a breed of genetically modified zebrafish, a popular tropical fish that can be found in many aquariums, which fluoresce bright red when they are exposed to light. |
 | | Since GloFish fluoresce continuously, their value as a pollution indicator is non-existent, but Blake said he recognized the brilliantly colored fishes' potential as an addition to aquariums when he was working with NUS scientists two and a half years ago. |
 | | She said she thinks the GloFish is a perfect example of that progress, and that she supports Blake's decision to share it with the public. |
