It isn't like farmed salmon is a crucial staple food without substitutes - nobody will starve without it. There are plenty of other fish breeds that are less damaging across their production lifecycle.

Farmed salmon is a luxury good and we shouldn't be harming the environment for that.

What other fish do you recommend?

[ClumsyPilot]

Anchovy, Herring, any fish that is not at the top of the food chain. Salmon is a predator, it's like eating tigers.

[ceejayoz]

Unlike tigers, salmon are definitely not at the top of the food chain.

> Anchovy, Herring

are they farmable on industrial scale to feed humanity?

[ClumsyPilot]

What do you think salmon eat?

For every 1 kg of salmon waten by a person 5-10 KG of anchovy or other fish is eaten by salmon.

[riku_iki]

I am not sure that fish(like very small anchovy) is in grade to effectively feed humans.

[ClumsyPilot]

What does this mean? Anchovies are normal food sold at the supermarket.

[pvaldes]

not. We can't breed this so is a non-solution. Keeping them alive in aquariums is very difficult.

[MiguelX413]

Irrelevant, because we're not seeking to replace such a staple in the first place, as was already previously stated.

[riku_iki]

I didn't get who are those "we" and where it was stated and by who, and why that who is an absolute authority in this discussion that any other opinions are labeled as "irrelevant"
