how a farmed fish can be considered depleted ?
i don't understand,  unless they talk about the depletion of the wild form
of the  farmed fish..
in that case it shows that farming a species compromise the health of the
wild population ( by neglecting their environement or by direct transmission
of diseases)

>The Audubon Society and the Aquarium of the Pacific has put together a
"Guide to Seafood". This list ranks seafood by species status, which is how
well a species is being managed, whether it is being overfished and being
depleted. This list does not take into consideration other factors such as
contamination. The list runs from abundant species to severely depleted
species, best to worst.
