    A very good friend, fishing in Sitka last spring caught a number of "king" salmon and did not realize until he was at the cleaning table that the gill plates on almost half of them had spots... Large irregular black spots... Atlantic salmon spots. Seems a fish farm in BC admits to losing several hundred thousand of them during a storm.

    Default fish farming

    fish farming and shrimp farming are detrimental in many ways. Water is polluted and as we see fish escape. Somehow we have to make all of this right before there is nothing left to fix.

    Doug -

    Very interesting read. Thanks for the link.

    On top of all that, I recently read an article, can't remember where, that pointed out the NUTRITION differences between wild and farm raised salmon. After reading that article, I swore off farm raised salmon, period. It might taste good, but it is kind of like eating sawdust.

    Hard to find wild salmon in the stores around here, but when it is available ....

    The fish are always right.

    John,
    I have talked to people about the difference between wild salmon and farmed salmon and I have decided that most people don't have a clue!
    I think feeding the farmed salmon food to color their flesh red, is fraud.
