Some food for thought:

"Almost 1 million farmed salmon escape annually in Norway alone."

Fish which are genetically engineered to grow much larger than normal fish are more attractive to native (non GE) fish for breeding because of their size. Thus GE fish have a selective advantage for breeding, and create more offspring. However the offspring of genetically engineered fish have a far higher mortality rate.

"Scientists found that putting 60 genetically engineered fish into a population of 60,000 native fish could render the entire species extinct in as little as 40 years."
