What is the difference between wild salmon and farmed salmon?
Wild salmon don't do drugs! The wild salmon runs of Alaska are both healthy and abundant. Spawned in our pristine rivers and lakes, our wild salmon migrate to the clean deep waters of the North Pacific where they feed and grow naturally. Is farmed salmon as good as wild salmon? NO! - Farmed salmon are reared in densely packed pens where they are fed antibiotics and fungicides to ward off disease.
- Farmed salmon are dosed with anti-parasites to kill sea lice.
- Farmed salmon are fed 'pigment enhancers' to color their meat.
Salmon farming pollutes the environment. - Fecal mater and excess antibiotic laden feed leach into the surrounding water, causing pollution and endangering other fish and mammals.
- Lice and disease are passed on to wild salmon in the vicinity.
- Each year thousands of farmed fish escape and populate areas foreign to their species.
