Your site is interesting but seems to be promoting salmon raising and releasing. (Hatcheries). That is not what I think of when I see the farmed salmon at Costco. To me a salmon that is hatched in captivity and them released to the wild to grow to maturity is healthier to eat than a salmon that spends all of its life in a pen and is fed artificial food. I also think of the supposed environmental damage done to local waters by big fish farms. I think about the salmon being raised in a pen and never eating wild food, and being given pellets with dye to make their flesh pink. Is that not how it is done? Are all the researchers who are against salmon farming wrong in their conclusions?

The link you provide equates salmon getting their pink color by eating krill or shrimp with salmon getting their color artificially. That seems like a stretch to me. Are you in the salmon raising business. Do you live in a town supported by the industry?

I admit my concerns are in place because of all the stories I have heard and read. Can you point to any expert that has no dog in the fight that says fish farms and farm raised salmon are good for local environments and as healthy to eat as salmon, ranched or wild, that swims free and eats wild food?

Having said all that, I will say your site is well done. You seem to be the only voice saying what you do. That does not make you wrong, but does give you an uphill battle convincing folks like me.
