I do not eat Atlantic Salmon which is always farmed.
We lived for 15 years on a bluff overlooking a salmon farming operation in a waterway that 'flushes' very well (the current is swift and changes direction with the tides). Husband dove in the area around the pens before we built our home, then he dove again 10 years later. The impact on the sea bed was stunning, the sea cucumber decimated by the waste from the fish and fish feed.
Farmed salmon are fed pellets made from fish processing 'awful' and contain a red dye.
The other issue is that the fish farming operations claim that the fish are neutered and to not mate with the wild salmon, however, genetic tests on wild salmon in British Columbia raise doubts.
+1. I won't touch farm-raised salmon, for the reasons cited above.
