Aquaculture

The industry of raising and harvesting aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed in human-managed environments. Its production method is distinct from capture fishing of wild stocks.
Salmon flesh isn't naturally orange. Salmon are actually white-fleshed fish; their pink-orange color comes from astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment they absorb by eating krill and shrimp. Farmed salmon whose feed lacks this pigment stay a grayish-white.
