Atlantic Salmon Is Basically Extinct: You’re Eating a Genetically Eroded Version

<http://www.alternet.org/food/atlantic-salmon-basically-extinct-youre-eating-genetically-eroded-version>

"Atlantic salmon, the native salmon that used to inhabit the northern Atlantic
Ocean, rivers and seas, is a species now represented by an impostor: farmed
salmon. Also known as cultured salmon, farmed salmon comes from hatchery
genetic stock and unlike its native ancestors, lacks wild genetic variation."

Sad.  Yet another tragedy of the commons.  Via glyn moody.
