The relatively new industry of salmon farming is blurring the line between natural and artificial with deceptive marketing. Corporate grocers have favored farmed salmon over wild salmon and given farmed salmon a misleading label, Atlantic salmon.
The American consumer is understandably confused and is being sold an inferior product for the same price that they would pay for wild Alaskan salmon. Wild Alaskan salmon is not widely available to Americans. Most of the salmon caught in Naknek, Alaska is sold to Japan for far less than Americans pay for farmed salmon.
Our government has turned a blind eye to this problem and a small community is being financially strangled. The continued devaluation of wild Alaskan salmon puts a way of life at risk.
