 that is not the same science , one is working for an understanding of life
,the other is working for the benefits of the food  industry.

Herring being one of the food of wild salmons, fishing them to feed farmed
salmon is depriving the wild ones of their food. where is the gain?  what is
the benefit , ?
i gave some web sites in the past about farmed salmon ,i can't find it now
but you might be able to get them in the archives or just search for farmed
salmon ,you will have all the elements to see what it means to farm salmon
. It is true that on the west cosat of canada they are fed with herring
 and antibiotics ) because the herring are stil happening here but for how
long.? In scandinavia or maybe anywhere else where salmon are raised they
don't have this luxuary apparantly  anymore,  so grains or soja  once again
are going to be the future  fare of all the farmed animals no matter if they
are herbivorous or carnivorous..
