From both a nutritional and environmental impact perspective, wild-caught fish are far superior to theirfarmed counterparts:
- Despite being much fattier, farmed fish provide far less usable beneficial omega-3 fatty acids thanwild fish because they are fed grain, instead of their natural diets.
- Due to the feedlot conditions of aquafarming, farm-raised fish are doused with antibioticsand exposed to more concentrated pesticides than their wild kin. Farmed salmon, inaddition, are given a salmon-colored dye in their feed, without which their flesh would bean unappetizing grey color.
- Aquafarming also raises a number of environmental concerns, the most important ofwhich may be its negative impact on wild salmon. It has now been established that sealice from farms kill up to 95% of juvenile wild salmon that migrate past them.(Krkosek M,Lewis MA. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A.)
