Some folks have read the typical Internet hype about farmed fish not healthy. Really a fish that doesn't get nutrition that's flesh contains protein, not healthy?
Fish raised in a farm have a variety of issues: The industry uses open net-cages placed directly in the ocean, where farm waste, chemicals, disease and parasites are released directly into the surrounding waters, harming other marine life. Escapes of thousands of farmed fish are common in this industry, as are the deaths of natural predators like sea lions and seals who are attracted to the pens of fish.
Raising carnivorous fish like salmon that require a high percentage of protein derived from wild fish in their feed also has a significant impact on the environment. More kilograms of wild fish are used to raise salmon than farmed salmon produced, depleting wild fish stocks rather than supplementing them.

I like salmon and tilapia. If I'm in a pinch (like I was tonight) for some protein, I'll do canned tuna.1
