Genetically modified Salmon will be hard to spot

I'm personally against this because I think consumers have the right to know if the fish they are purchasing is genetically modified salmon or not, not because I believe there is any risk, but from a cost factor it should be known. It's like the difference between wild and farm raised, consumers have the right to know if they are being charged the correct price since salmon caught in the wild is more expensive.

It's similar to if coloring was added to enhance the salmon, to make it look wild when it is farm raised, consumers should know...However, it does not appear we will know according to this Washington Post article:

The FDA says it cannot require a label on the genetically modified food once it determines that the altered fish is not "materially" different from other salmon - something agency scientists have said is true.

Perhaps more surprising, conventional food makers say the FDA has made it difficult for them to boast that their products do not contain genetically modified ingredients.

The labeling question has emerged as the FDA determines whether to approve the fish, an Atlantic salmon known as AquAdvantage that grows twice as fast as its natural counterpart. The decision carries great weight because, while genetically modified agriculture has been permitted for years and engineered crops are widely used in processed foods, this would be the first modified animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.The AquAdvantage salmon has been given a gene from the ocean pout, an eel-like fish, and a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon.
