Theres almost nothing wrong with salmon farming if people actually got a book out and did some reading they would see that, but noooooooooooo everyone just listens to david suzuki who is just another paid off environmentalist educate yourself people.

Don't eat or buy Alaska wild salmon. Up to 41% of the salmon that Alaska exports has been raised in plastic trays, fed pellets, held in open net pens for up to 12 months, then released into the wild. Alaska farms up to 1.5 billion salmon each year to sustain their fake wild salmon fishery.

@Folkboat11 thats incorrect what you are referring to is salmon ranching which is very similer to hatchery salmon where they hatch in a hatchery setting and released after a climitzation period in saltwater depends on the facility some are relised in salt others in fresh i will more then happily eat wild alaskan salmon over ANY farmed salmon from either pacific or atlantic chile norway or canada i resfuse to buy the stuff

[Folkboat11]

@SalmonSlayer1991 Alaska farmed salmon are raised in plastic trays, fed pellet feed, held in open net pens. Taste the same as farmed to me.

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 well then you have the most sensitive taste buds of anyone thats for sure since the salmon smolts are released PRIOR to growing any larger a few inches the salmon grows and feeds in the wild much like that of every wild salmon therfor since most all of the flesh we eat as salmon fillets steaks etc are produced from wild sources it should no doubt taste just like any wild salmon of the same sppecies. their are differances in flavor between chum pink sockeye king and silvers but that

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 is due to differances in fat and oil content plus sockeye for example eat much smaller prey items then say a 20lb springer. one thing is for sure and that we can both agree on pwild salmon are the best choice all around

[Folkboat11]

@SalmonSlayer1991 You seem to know so much. How are alaska slamon raised any different ? Alaska farmed salmon are raised in plastic trays, fed pellet feed, held in open net pens. Taste the same as farmed to me. What is your point?

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 i said alaskan salmon started in trays the same way hatchery salmon are but instead of having a goal of protection of wild salmon(hatchery) they have a goal for havest which in turn still relives some pressure form wild stocks. i guess i dont have a point i was merely saying that you claim they are raised in open net pen and while this may be true it is ONLY for an extremly short time in order to acclimate the parrs to smolts. i havent a clue how your taste buds react but i guess if

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 some how you can tell the differance between a fish hatched in captivity and one that hatched in the wild then both released to feed on the same source then you need a job as a taster

[Folkboat11]

@SalmonSlayer1991 I have eaten both. I also like to sport fish. Taste the same to me. You either know nothing of farming or you are a hypocrit.

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 sport fish? as in a fish you caught for sport? with this sport fish be a type of salmon? if so is it wild or hatchery it all leads to the other end of the circle this is almost a merry go round im not a hypocrit i todl you what i prefer though those disisions Are based upon sustainability and nutrtional content not flavor because i personally cant tell the differance between hatchery and wild nor ranched. i really dont know what to say all ive said was that it would be almost

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@Folkboat11 impossible to tell the differance because they are the same in almost Every aspect in terms of eating quality because they grow in the same exact condidtions in the ocean i was not trying to insult you if i did im sorry but that is my oppinnion

this country is just dam greedy. I changed my diet back to as close to nature as possible, and I've lost ten pounds in 8 weeks without exercise.

The problem is with statements like "...salmon failed to show up on the spawning grounds. It was THOUGHT that they were killed as youngsters by an infestation of sea lice out of salmon farms..." Now I agree that salmon farms have some big negative impacts, but as of yet, there is no study conclusively establishing a cause and effect relationship between lice load on juveniles and mortality. The science is anything but certain at this point... but I sincerely applaud the conviction you guys show
