Most often when the subject of toxic release into the oceans comes up, it is immediately identified with industrial waste. No question that industrial waste is ugly stuff and finds its way into the oceans all over the world. But for some reason (I guess out of sight / out of mind) most people don't seem to identify with it. Well, something they can't/shouldn't ignore is the fact that the burgeoning industry of fin fish farming is putting food on their tables that is loaded with all sorts of toxic "stuff." And that's on top of the unknowns that come along with the practice of genetic engineering. In an effort to whet your appetite for farmed fish, think about the fact that farmed fish are exposed to antibiotics, vaccines, pesticides, disease and parasite transmission as well as polluted waters. What would you think if you saw men in haz-mat suits and respirators spraying "something" (we suspect glyphosate) on open water salmon pens? Hmmm?

Here are a bunch (there are more) of farmed fish that you might want to avoid:
 One of 15 fish that you shouldn't eat is farm raised salmon!!
"Raised in bad conditions. High level of chemicals. Treated with banned pesticides. The level of Omega-3 fats is lower than before. If there is one fish that you should stay away from and never eat it, it is salmon. Sadly, Americans consume a lot of it, and often the unhealthiest kind. Namely, eating farmed fish is dangerous, especially eating farmed salmon because most salmon that is labeled as “Atlantic” salmon is farmed. That means that fish are raised in horrible conditions and are contaminated with feces, pesticides, parasites, and bacteria. Moreover, wild Atlantic salmon is listed as endangered and it is illegal to fish it because there is more than 75% chance that it will be extinct by 2100. Therefore, farmed salmon aquaculture may be the main reason why species can’t be saved, along with other problems like water extraction, water pollution, and climate change"...thank you www.curiousmindmagazine.com  I'll stick with the wild population. I can't imagine that the big "salmon" is a healthy alternative to the real thing. According to the AP there is a company that is injecting into Atlantic salmon the DNA from another fish species (ocean pout) that make them grow to full size in about 18 months, about twice as fast as regular salmon. The company says that's more efficient since less feed is required. But where is the research that confirms that over the long term such engineering has no deleterious effects on human health?
