As stated above...releasing farmed raised fish is a very very dangerous thing. It could kill off species with disease. These fish genetically "can't handle the truth"...they wouldn't know how to live on their own, in the wild...and would be food for something else within minutes...also would pass along dangerous disease to another specie. The whole aquaculture thing is a scary deal to begin with...take salmon for example, they use Carrotine to help give the fish their orange color...wild salmon should be a ruby red color. Wild hybrid Striped bass...don't even look the same. They diet is foul for many farmed fish. As for farmed trout and things like that...it isn't as bad I don't think. I don't claim to be an expert on these issues but certain farms are "better" than others, but always support wild fishery. I try to stay away from purchasing farmed fish...but sometimes like with salmon...people won't pay $30-$32 for a salmon dish where I am at...they see salmon as cheap since everyone else has it cheap...well when salmon cost $12.95 for wild salmon(when it's available) people don't understand why the price on the menu is so high. I am all about the day boat guys!
