The reference in the link is fairly lengthy. If you go beyond the first paragraph there sections: Disease and parasites, Pollution and contaminants... (about 10 more sections). However under Pollution and contaminants there are some eyebrow raising bits of information. "In sites without adequate currents, heavy metals can accumulate on the benthos (seafloor) near the salmon farms, particularly copper and zinc.[14]
Contaminants are commonly found in the flesh of farmed and wild salmon..."
- kergonath 4y agoI am not going down that specific rabbit hole, but your quote does not say anything about not eating farmed salmon specifically compared to wild salmon. All large fish accumulate heavy metals.
- bwv848 4y agoPlease allow me to quote a passage from an article https://time.com/6199237/is-farmed-salmon-healthy-sustainable/ https://time.com/6199237/is-farmed-salmon-healthy-sustainabl... > We know that every fish is a trade-off between omega-3 content and toxic content like PCBs. From the perspective of salmon in general, the balance favors consumption of that fish. Now the challenge here is that I can’t tell which salmon is farmed the right way or the wrong way.
- kergonath 4y agoWell yeah, that's a better quote, if you want to argue that way.
