The warnings I saw were about toxins, and it was recommended that
persons of young adult age and younger should NOT eat farmed fish more
frequently than twice a year or so. Scary. It supposedly is bad
because farmed fish are fed fish oil which is culled from fish in the
wild, without regard to their respective home waters. Substituting
vegetable oil, which is done sometimes, doesn't give the farmed fish
their high beneficial oils.
