It's all about money, of course, since the aquaculture industry has about 10
times the cash value of wild-caught fishes. Atlantic salmon is now a fad in
Japan, apparently (Ed Venn?), and the Japanese are willing to bid up the
price for farm-raised Atlantics from BC, Canada. I would urge everyone on
this list to avoid aquacultured Atlantic salmon, especially that produced in
BC. This biz is badly twisting the original ecosystem.
