	Malrothien posted: "(just don't anyone tell me what salmon really eat!)" Shrimp. That's why they get their color. PJR - When I learned about tilapia, they didn't specify. the farmed atlantic salmon don't eat shrimp though which is why they should be avoided -----signature----- Parson Jack Russell the Bunny Master Level 80 Gnome Warlock, Silver Hand Level 80 Sword, Harvestgain http://www.gordonkeith.com http://www.greyhoundadoptiontx.org

	Why should you not eat salmon that doesn't eat shrimp? Does it have something to do with the quality of the salmon? -----signature----- Take a stand against domestic violence - http://www.standagainstdv.org/ Purple Ribbon campaign against domestic abuse - http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/Gazebo/1601/purpleribbon.html

	they eat processed fish parts which causes pollution to the ocean and results in a crappy piece of fish -----signature----- Parson Jack Russell the Bunny Master Level 80 Gnome Warlock, Silver Hand Level 80 Sword, Harvestgain http://www.gordonkeith.com http://www.greyhoundadoptiontx.org

	In nature, canthaxanthin (beta-carotene-4,4'dione) and astaxanthin (3, 3'-dihydroxy-a, beta-carotene- 4,4'dione) are naturally occurring carotenoids found in lobster carapaces, krill, shrimp shells, flamingo feathers, and red algae. (Canthaxanthin derives its name from the Cantharelles mushroom of the same color.) In the wild, salmon forage the oceans feeding on colorful crustaceans, plankton, and algae, which naturally impart a beautiful shade of pink to the flesh of their predators. But when salmon are farmed and unable to forage, their flesh is an insipid, unappealing color--one few consumers would choose. Hence, canthaxanthin or astaxanthin or both are added to the feed of farmed salmonid fish. Apparently, although astaxanthin is normally found in wild salmon, canthaxanthin is more efficiently bioabsorbed. there is a whole article about this you can read it here: http://www.worldandi.com/public/2000/may/fishy.html -----signature----- WoW Ayla Hunter, Lightbringer, Z Guild May the forces of evil become confused while your arrow is on its way to the target. ~George Carlin~ A'yla level 126 UA AC FF www.zguild.org

	Another big issue, farm-raised carnivorous fish are more destructive to the environment and ocean eco-system then wild-caught. Approximately 3 times the amount of fish are processed to create fishmeal than if those same numbers of fish were free-roaming and feeding in their normal foodchain. Salmon is in this category of carnivorous top dogs. They are trying to develop vegetable protein based feeds, but it is still inefficient in terms of fattening up the fish for sale (Watched a nice discovery channel show on it a while ago). -----signature----- Tazzer - Level 150something Xbow Gimp Now With Uber Fletching Powers! http://www.hell-inc.com Thread Killer: Tazzer-HH, who with premeditated villainy sucked the life out of 40 threads.

	Not bad for you, except for the mercury. These are very old fish with a lot of time to accumulate the mercury. Overfishing is a big problem, too. http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_factsheet.aspx?gid=14 -----signature----- Kaessa - Level 80 Feral Druid (Kitty!)
