I try to buy only wild salmon so this doens't bother me. what does though
is whether the raising of large numbers will effect our fisheries.

Salmon farming is causing massive damage to the environment and ecology
wherever it is being done. Not only at the farms themselves. Massive
amounts of irreplaceable "wild" protein is being converted into fish meal
and similar. ( at a massive loss ratio!), to feed the unfortunate creatures.
The cumulative and total damage this engenders is beyond estimate, and in
many cases, already beyond repair.

This is just another way of raping nature in order to make money, but one of
the most dangerous to date. When the seas die, then mankind will die as
well. Who knows? It may be a good thing.
