Salmon are naturally colored grayish, similar to cod, but are pink due to the diet they consume. Farmed salmon do not consume the same diet (shrimp) that wild salmon consume. Since they are grey, farmers add dye to the meat to make it more appealing to consumers.

Farmed salmon can tranmet diseases to wild stocks of salmon. If farmed salmon enters the rivers to spawn and interbreeds with wild samon they can contribute to what can be called 'genetical pollution'. As each stock of salmon in each particular salmon river has been adapted to the very conditions in this river, generation after generation, for thousands of years, such an interference is undesirable.

It depends on the type of salmon it is. Commercially farmed salmon has very little vitamin D, while wild salmon has quite a bit of vitamin D.

Wild salmon is fine for vitamin D. Farmed salmon is a waste of money.
