Study: Sea lice killing off wild salmon
Researchers have new evidence that as the density of salmon farms increases, they can drive nearby wild salmon runs to extinction. The problem is sea lice, a natural parasite that normally attaches to adult salmon with little ill effect and has little contact with vulnerable juvenile salmon. All that changes, however, when fish farms move in.

Interesting, it sure seems that you are seeing more farmed salmon in the stores now. Nutrition wise I dont think that farmed salmon is as good for you either.

makes sense the farms also become sea lice farms.
