Not all Farm raised Salmon is bad and not all Wild is a good choice. We need farm raised to keep from wiping out the wild fish. Imagine the drain on wild if there was no farm raised Salmon. We just need to do it better.  http://www.seachoice.org/fish/freshwater-salmon/

This is old news about farmed salmon, but still very relevant. Definitely something to avoid, for environmental and health reasons.

Biggest culprit in the USA is the potato farmers that are taking all the water from the rivers and streams and then dumping fertilizer and pesticides and herbicides. Salmon populations are still healthy in Alaska where there is no ag activity.

Another big culprit is alfalfa, used for cattle feed. It's a water-intensive, low-value crop, that's compromising our salmon. Maybe if everyone cut back on beef...

You want to go there also cattle horse and human waste ( do you shit in the woods ) all take it's toll. Here Pidgins on the pier, were so bad it made the surf water polluted and not safe. So where do you draw the line. Everything you do has a counter effect, you know for every action there is a reaction. That theory is not just in physics.

Not sure I understand everything you said. Grammar and punctuation go a long way.
Pigeons crapping on piers is not a factor in our water shortage. And neither are people crapping in the woods. Cattle waste...yes. You reenforced my point. Cattle. Cows. Beef. There are too many people on the planet for all of us to eat and do whatever we want, whenever we want, without consequences. Everything has a cost and a carbon footprint. It takes roughly 2000 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef. Meat-eating is significant, whether we like it or not.

Grammar and punctuation, is caused by passing children because of economics. Had I been flunked when I should have, or moved back when we moved to California, from Idaho. Where the teacher said she was flunking me in 4th grade. Parents tried to put me in third grade when we moved down here to California. But I was already way ahead of the school system here in California. Sorry but that was long ago, But I'm not afraid to try.

I'm with Polepole on the Alaska salmon thing. They are getting decimated due to commercial fishing and being by catches in nets. The Kenai, once the best trophy salmon river in the world, is closed to harvest and has been the past two seasons. Its little sister the Kasiloff is too. You can catch and release and I think they only have a three week window on the Kasiloff where you can keep one.

Alaska also has a 50K bounty for any Atlantic Salmon caught in their waters. They want them killed in order to protect their wild stocks. They fear that the pens south of them in British Columbia have had some escapees and will someday make their way up to Alaska.
