glofish
GloFish are a type of genetically modified ornamental fish that exhibit a fluorescent glow under specific lighting conditions. The most common varieties are based on the zebrafish and tetra species, with additional types developed from the barb and betta. These fish were originally created by scientists in Singapore using genes from bioluminescent marine organisms like jellyfish and sea anemones. The introduced genes cause the fish to produce fluorescent proteins, making them appear brightly colored when illuminated by a blue or black light.
The development of GloFish was initially intended for scientific research, particularly to create a biological indicator
Concerns have been raised by some environmental groups regarding the potential ecological impact of GloFish if
