I have never eaten a farmed fish and I do not intend to, ever. Why would you do that? Its not only the destruction of wild fish to feed farmed salmon its also the Diseases, the parasites and the chemicals used by salmon farmers. Hundreds of thousands of farmed fish die in the fish pens. Crammed in like sardines, excuse the pun. The life of a wild salmon is amazing. Ecological destruction for profit. Yet again!!!!!!!!!

You're naive if you seriously think that you have never eaten farmed fish. If you go to a sushi place you're eating farmed fish 100%, if you have eaten some salmon roll, you're eating farmed fish.

  It is simple to imagine a person who has never eaten fish.

    I don't think I know a single person who's never eaten fish nor I think it is possible at all. Even if you think you do, fish is actually added to a very large amount of processed food even if it has nothing do to with fish at all. Worchester sauce, salad dressing, protein bars, gummy candies, margarins, anything that contains omega 3, vitamins and an infinitely larger amount of fish and fish oil/paste is added to virtually anything you can find in the supermarket. Pork-derived collagen is the industry standard when it comes to clarification (e.g. people don't like to see wine that isn't transparent and has no sediments) so they are surprised there's pork used in a gargantuan amount of food. Same happens with fish. It's extremely unlikely people haven't eaten fish, even if they don't know it.

> I have never eaten a farmed fish and I do not intend to, ever. The probably is accurately knowing in order to make an informed choice. Naively I assumed certain species were likely to be farmed. But nowadays the advancements in aquaculture mean that more and more species can be farmed. Even Tuna and Cod can be captured small and grown to a larger size in captivity. My main concern is the health unknowns around feeding incenerated fish carcasses to fish that should be eating bottom of the ocean sealife and vegetation. It intuitevely takes me back to the 'mad cow disease' epidemic, with cow feed made out of slaughter house carcasses.

Terrible that people have this attitude. Depleting natural wild salmon stocks is way, way worse than eating farmed salmon. For all it's faults, farmed salmon is a miracle.
