I think it would There are several reasons: First: A wild salmon swims up to thousands of kilometers from the river it was born to reach the feeding grounds in the sea and then return to spawn in the very same river it was born. The farmed salmon, on the other hand, stays in the salmon farm. Just like the farmers pigs, farmed salmon are fat and lazy fellows. They are not at all as fit as a wild salmon. When smoked, a portion of the bellies of farmed salmon have to be cut of, just because it's awfully fat. Second: Farmed salmon eat fish pellets made from fish. This diet gives the fish pale white or greyish flesh as such a diet doesn't contain any natural carotenes. Carotenes are responsible for the orange colour of the flesh of a wild salmon - because they eat shrimps. The salmon farmers feed the salmon with pellets containing artificial colour. If you search for pictures on Google by googling "salmofan" you will se that the producers can create salmon with virtually any colour you like. The colour of the flesh doesn't influence the taste of the salmon, though. But the diet of wild salmon beeing more diversified: Baitfish and shrimps, ensures it a better taste.

because of the food they are fed. If in the wild, they eat what they want, as farm raised, they are fed a grain, mostly corn based feed and the result is a milder, less wild taste.
Does farm raised salmon have mercury?
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.
Is organic farm raised fish better for health than wild fish?
Definetly not
What is a Scottish salmon?
