NYT Article on Farmed Salmon

[Guest guest]

Another article about the higher contaminant content of farm-raised

salmon...however, the quote below got me REALLY worried:

" 'These fish don't have to be contaminated,' said Jane Houlihan of the

Environmental Working Group, which wants salmon farms to switch the feed they

use.

Trent said many farmers in the United States, Canada and Chile are slowly

replacing some of the fish oil in salmon feed with soybean and canola oil to

address the pollutants. "

The whole article:

Still eating wild,

[Guest guest]

I would think it possible to create good farm raised fish. After

all, we eat farm raised beef, pork, chicken, etc. I am not aware of

anyone who sells natural farm raised fish. Such a think might even

be better than ocean fish because of ocean pollution. I think it's a

business opportunity especially as awareness increases about the

current condition of farm raised.
