Summary:

As farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on North America's dinner tables, we were told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. Frantz and Collins bring readers to massive ocean feedlots where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. They reveal the conditions inside hatcheries, where young salmon are treated like garbage, and at the farms that threaten our fragile coasts. Readers will meet the big salmon farmer who poisoned his own backyard, the fly-fishing activist who risked everything to ban salmon farms in Puget Sound, and the American researcher driven out of Norway for raising the alarm about dangerous contaminants in the fish. And they will learn how it doesn't need to be this way. -- Adapted from jacket.
