Polluting Salmon Farms

"Farmed salmon are reared in net cages that float in the ocean, and pollution from the farms caused by excrement and waste from excess food enters the marine environment. Sources of chemical pollution from salmon farms include antibiotics, pesticides, feed additives, antifouling paints, and disinfectants." - excerpt from Environmental News Service article at http://ens-news.com/ens/may2003/2003-05-30-06.asp
