Most farmed salmon eat a diet heavy in fish meal, derived from wild caught but "undesirable" fish. Eating farmed salmon may not harm wild salmon populations directly, but they still have an impact on wild fish stock. Eventually, there could very well be food competition between wild salmon and farmed if fisheries continue to seek fish meal from wild sources to feed an increasing population of farmed fish.
