There is Atlantic salmon is Scotland. Scottish salmon is probably farm raised Atlantic salmon.
Korea (Farm Raised)
Absolutely !... Before releasing the adult fish back into the wild, the farm-bred salmon are 'milked' for their eggs and sperm - which creates the next generation of fish.
You can hypothesize that those in the wild will be healthier. This is because they are in their natural habitat.
Salmon is considered a healthy food because of the abundance of Omega-3 oils. For the best tasting and most sustainable salmon, look for wild grown Alaska salmon NOT farm raised and NOT Atlantic (Atlantic just doesn't taste as good!)
Whether a salmon has levels of mercury in it is governed by where it has been swimming and what has been in its food chain, rather than whether it was farm raised or wild. A farm raised salmon, raised in aquaculture rearing pens in the waters of the Puget Sound in Washington state would have a similar level of mercury as wild salmon that spent their lives in the same area. Salmon live in a four year life cycle; being laid as eggs in rivers where they hatch and grow to an inch or so, then they swim down river and stay in relatively safe harbors and coves until they are large enough for their school to move to deeper waters. This is when they migrate out to the ocean, where they stay until they are about 4 years old. At 4 years old, they return to the rivers they were originally hatched in, spawn and die. Because of this, an argument could be raised that mercury levels in wild fish should be lower than in farm raised fish, as ocean mercury levels are significantly less than that in inland waterways where foundries and mills have deposited for hundreds of years.

Farmed salmon are raised in ponds. Wild salmon are caught in their natural environment.
Salmon are mostly raised in fish farms. A decrease in the salmon population due to overfishing has caused fresh caught salmon to become seasonal, rare, and very expensive.
