It takes 3#s of wild bait fish (herring, sardines, etc) per 1# of farmed salmon. Farmed salmon is full of toxins and disease (see recent ISA virus outbreaks in Canada) and cause nitrogen rich dead zones near their ocean pens from all of the waste. All of which effect wild fish negatively. Open pen aquaculture is a disgusting practice, and most closed system aquaculture isn't much better.
Friends don't let friends eat farmed salmon.
