The US FDA has not set standards for "organic" seafood. However according to this one very limited test, these farmed slamon actually have substantially less PCBs and dioxins. Could this be a better alternative to "wild" salmon?

the FDA has examined farm-raised salmon and has given the green light to consumption with an advisory of 8 oz. per week. The current f-r salmon consumption is only about one-third of that amount so the government has in effect recommended increasing consumption of farmed salmon.

We have the facilities to farm fish properly these days - however the fact is that there's such a focus on volume over quality that we pump the poor creatres full of crap..
