Captive raised or ocean farmed

[soapy]

If you want to have some kind of guide to making somewhat more responsible choices of wild caught fish you can use fish base.org and check their resilience and vulnerability estimates to help make fish choices. Scroll down each fish page towards the bottom to see numbers.

This one looks ok:

Not as good:

Probably bad:

Are you asking - ocean farmed or wild harvested?

Was supposed to be tank raised or ocean caught but I messed up the wording

I'd edit it for you, but lots of people voted already, so I won't change it now.

How much of an issue is this in Canada?

Seems like quite a bit of the stuff we get is ora or something similar or not endangered or even at risk...

We basically see the same 20-25 fish consistently with the odd exception here or there.

The unfortunate part for us as Canucks is that our stores, suppliers and shippers get most of what we want from the US so whatever laws prevail in the US will invariably apply to us in Canada as even though it may be legal in Canada but not the states we get nailed unfairly. There are not a lot that source their product straight from the collection country straight to Canada.

It's a big sucky for us north of the border
