They take the "role" of the apex predator except for us and it's typical that the higher you are in the food chain the more toxins build up.

    As far as I know, most ( or at least All current export I know of ) Farmed Salmon are Deep Sea type Farmed Salmon. The idea is instead of having the possibility of them going to fresh water to spawn, they are kept at specific region of deep sea and greatly reduce the chances of getting parasites. So I am not entirely sure what the article is suggesting. May be for Salmon that is not intend to be served as sushi? Because Freshwater Salmon doesn't fit that bill.
