face=Arial>Although the soy industry claims that soy is an </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>environmentally friendly alternative for fish feed, </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>fish that are fed soy have been shown to produce </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>more waste; thus, an increase in the amount of </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>soy fed to fish in fish farms could increase the </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>pollution load on the environment surrounding </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>these farms.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>In open ocean fish farming, uneaten feed flows </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>directly from the cage into the environment. </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>Because 94 percent of the soy grown in the United </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>States and much of the soy grown internationally </FONT><FONT size=2
face=Arial>is genetically modified, feeding soy to farmed fish </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>means that genetically modified food will enter </FONT><FONT

organisms.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
