Re: Wild salmon vs farmed

Would you believe the same foods are fed to both cattle and farmed fish?
Large masses of small sardine type fishes are caught in the southern oceans
and are processed as animal food, high in proteins etc.
And the poop falls to the sea floor which actually makes a fertile
seafloor with good crabbing !
