Wild salmon is caught in its natural habitat, such as rivers and oceans, while farmed salmon is raised in man-made environments such as tanks and pens.
Wild salmon is generally considered to be healthier than farmed salmon because it contains fewer contaminants and higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Wild salmon has a natural diet of krill, plankton, and small fish, while farmed salmon is often fed a diet of pellets containing antibiotics, dyes, and other additives to promote growth and prevent disease.
Additionally, farmed salmon can have negative impacts on the environment, such as water pollution and the spread of diseases and parasites to wild salmon populations. On the other hand, wild salmon populations may be stressed by overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.

That's correct! Farmed salmon is typically grown in enclosures in coastal waters, where they are fed a formulated diet and monitored for growth and health. Wild salmon, however, swim freely in the ocean and are caught by fishermen using nets or other fishing gear.
