Salmon Guy Seafoods -- Good Food for Good Health

Alaskan wild salmon runs are still wonderfully abundant. They are considered among the best-managed fisheries in the world.

Salmon farming as it is currently practiced is ecologically unsound, and threatens the health of wild salmon runs.

Conservation organizations including the Audobon Society, the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund recommend eating Alaskan wild salmon and avoiding farm-raised salmon.

Farmed salmon routinely escape from their pens. These escaped fish compete with wild salmon for food and spawning habitat. Escaped farm salmon can spread disease to wild salmon, and may interbreed with wild salmon, thereby reducing the latter's fitness.

Fish wastes, uneaten food, and harmful chemicals flow from the fish pens directly into coastal waters. This degrades water quality and damages nursery areas that support wild ocean fisheries.

It takes roughly three pounds of wild fish for feed to produce one pound of farmed Atlantic salmon. Salmon farming depletes rather than augments fisheries resources. Alaskan Wild Salmon is ecologically better.
