What are the advantages of wild caught salmon over farm-raised (if any)?

Fish farms... diseased parasite ridden fish, excessive use of chemicals such as formaldehyde to combat said parasitic fish lice, the sludge thats building up at the bottom of the farm location impacting the localised area. Seen on the docu eating our way to extinction. Wild salmon? Never know what they gonna do! They wild lol

The big issue with wild salmon (or wild anything) is of course overfishing. In the end, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Wild fishing for salmon has the same problems as wild fishing in general like bycatch

The situation for other farmed meat is pretty comparable, unfortunately. I think if there was a photo of where the animal lived on the packaging, we'd have a lot more vegetarians in the world.
