Thanks WitW: I ran into a superstore employee at the fish dept. yesterday and was commenting on her farmed salmon and suggested it wasn't the best product for human consumption. The total ignorance that spewed from her mouth was disturbing. I asked her if she would be willing to check out a few sites regarding fish farming and it's problems with disease and contamination etc. So I was hoping to try and at least open her eyes a little bit. One mindset at a time I guess. eman

These sites are good also:-

http://www.davidsuzuki.org/blogs/he...3/salmon-farming-continues-to-be-major-issue/
http://www.pewenvironment.org/campaigns/salmon-aquaculture-reform/id/8589941313
http://www.raincoastresearch.org/salmon-farming.htm
http://www.livingoceans.org/initiatives/salmon-farming

This paper is older (2003) but contains some comparative figures for the value of wild fisheries versus salmon feed lots.

Good luck with your efforts to educate people; it is an uphill battle but as you say Eman, one mindset at a time!
