In an article about farmed salmon by K-Tipp No. 15 of 18 September 2024, our fish biologist, Yannick Rohrer gives tips on eating fish. Given the major problems in salmon farming, farmed salmon is not justifiable. But even wild-caught salmon is problematic because Atlantic salmon is on the list of endangered species. In the Pacific, there are some healthy other stocks of salmon species, for example in Alaska and Canada. However, it is difficult to find fishes from such stocks in shops. The declaration requirements are too poor for this. fair‑fish takes the position that wild fish from non-endangered stocks of the European anchovy and the king mackerel are acceptable. Even more ethical and environmentally friendly are mainly herbivorous fishes such as carp and tilapia from extensive pond farming.
