Yes...I'm sure some fish farmers supplement the little fish pellets, or
the salmon somehow get some omega-3 by munching on a little algae.

However...as mentioned it is inconsistent (among fish farmers), and
supplementing the fish meal adds costs. The economics of fish farming is
driving towards the lowest common denominator...like factory beef and
chicken.

I imagine that most paleo eaters choose natural or organic beef if
possible...it's the same with salmon. The farmed fish is the inferior fish
by a long shot.
