I agree that we should shift our attention from farmed fish to conserving and supporting wild salmon, if only because it is a far more sustainable solution. I also think that you make a good point about salmon being important to other predators. The captain of the boat that I fished on this summer talked about how he used to see boats in a neighboring fishery pull in nets loaded with jacks, immature Chinooks, and how that must have hurt the killer whales that feed on Chinooks.
