Recent Farmed and Wild Salmon News of Interest

September 4, 2015
Time article a farce
 A recent article by Time magazine is laden with misinformation about farmed salmon and appears to be pure propaganda for the wild salmon industry.
 Laura Braden, FishfarmingXpert, Opinion,  September 4, 2015
A recent article in Time magazine, Should I Eat Salmon, written by Mandy Oaklander, backs up none of its anti-salmon farming assertions with facts and appears to be yet another example of how interests for the Alaskan sockeye fishery pay to have their product marketed.
 
Time after TIME, the same (incorrect) message
Posted by Alaska Salmon Ranching on Friday, August 28, 2015 ·
Marketing pays. Literally. If you want to market a product, it’s a great idea to have “experts” in your pocket. Then, what is actually a hard-hitting marketing campaign seems like a wonderful public service announcement. The latest TIME article titled Should I Eat Salmon? is an excellent example.
