theweaselkingJapanese scientists have developed a new kind of assisted reproduction for animals, in which one species can create another.
They implanted tissue from trout embryos into salmon embryos; and when the salmon became adults and mated, they produced trout.
The researchers suggest this could be a way to improve the chances of endangered species, they say in Nature.
It could also help secure supplies of bluefin tuna for sushi restaurants.
