> I too eat salmon and enjoy it. I would look into farmed fish in New > Mexico as I did in Houston. I adore red fish but have avoided it. Why > are fish farms polluters? Nita > Mainy because of the high concentration of fish in a small area. High concentrations mean diseases and diseases mean medicaments and disinfectants. The water used for the farms is then released in the sea but it is highly 'charged' and kills a lot of the plancton and other small animals and plants. Also the 'red' fish is red because of some substance they add to the food ( I cannot remember its name). This substance is toxic for the human eye and will be withdrawn as from this year I think . It has been used for many years and its toxicity has been known also. This substance is also used for hens so the yokes look healthy. Wild fish get their colour from eating shrimps.
