Freshwater Coho Salmon
-
From:U.S.Method:Farmed, flow through tank
Freshwater coho raised in closed containment land based aquaculture systems has recently been recognized as a “Best Choice.” There is virtually no risk of escape in these land based tank systems and effluent water is treated prior to discharge. The spread of disease and parasites to wild salmon stocks is also avoided. A significant portion of the feed is derived from plant protein, which has greatly reduced the dependence on wild fish in the feed.
Consumers beware: The vast majority of farmed salmon comes from open net pens and is ranked as “Avoid.”
