Fishing has become a problem all over the world because of many reasons.

This is due to the accumulated chemicals in the environment due to contaminants from pollution and waste in any water source which at the end gets to the ocean.Some contaminants of the ocean include heavy metals like mercury (the contaminant with more effect on pregnant women and young children), pesticide residues, and other compounds which affect the food chain because it can start with a small fish that is …show more content…
Aside from that Alaska’s waters are among the cleanest in the world due to the patterns of circulation of water and air. Another factor that helps Alaska to have one of the least contaminated waters in the world is that Alaska’s human population is relatively small,being the lowest population density in the United States and also lower than most places in the world. The advantage of having a little population is that there is a less heavy industry and also strict rules for construction and working, like mining, logging,and road building.

To start with Alaskan salmon is a wild animal and it is not farmed raised. The fact that is a wild salmon and is free makes the salmon to eat what the salmon desires of the nature, so the nutritional profile has an advantage with micronutrients, fats, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants like astaxanthin against the farmed salmon, which eats artificially and has a diet consisting of grain products. The difference in their nutritional content varies a lot between farmed salmon and fresh caught salmon as well as their flavor. The flavor of fresh caught Alaskan Salmon is due to the environment in which it matures, so the pure waters and the abundance of a natural habitat makes the Alaskan salmon have an amazing flavor. The main difference between the wild salmon and the farmed salmon is that the farmed salmon is raised in net pens in the open ocean, which can lead to contaminate the water because all the leftovers of the genetically engineered ingredients, the pesticides, the antibiotics and chemical additives that fish don’t have are a leading cause of the contamination of the environment. On the other hand the wild salmon from Alaska is natural so it swims and returns to their native spawning grounds each year where they are
