I think the point being made is that farmed fish may not be in the best interest of the environment. That there may not be enough wild salmon to fill the market is not a reason to continue supporting farmed salmon, especially since farmed salmon may have significant negative impacts on the wild stocks and the environment.

I'm not sure what the percentages are in regards to the amount of farmed salmon bought verses wild salmon in the US. What is the basis of "95% of the Salmon we eat is farm raised"?

the POINT is to make WILD salmon MORE populated....educate people about eating just FARMED fish...and support the ENVIRONMENT that benefits BOTH PEOPLE AND SALMON....it's a win win situation to get OFF the farm needle, like with oil...
sun is NATURAL....fish are NATURAL....water flow in our rivers is NATURAL.....the Native Americans were here long before us....and their existance is NATURAL
