Hi, Isn’t farm raised salmon is high on mercury? Unlike wild salmon it’s safer to eat no mercury. Is this true? Even though farm raised salmon is sold in whole foods It high in mercury. My only concern.

You mention that Farmed Salmon is low in Mercury. How about PCB’s?
Also, there seems to be a body of scientific evidence that suggests Open-Pen Farmed Salmon hurts the population of wild salmon.
