TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 4 — Their weird glowing green color makes them look like they’ve been swimming in a nuclear plant’s spent fuel pond. But the zebra fish on sale in Taipei shops have an even stranger background: They’re the latest in genetically modified fish, and their bodies contain DNA from jelly fish, making them shimmer in the dark. Shopkeepers call them “Night Pearls.” Some have nicknamed them “Frankenfish.” Their makers at the Taipei-based Taikong Corp. use the less catchy name “TK-1” — the world’s first genetically engineered fluorescent fish.
