How Are Salmon Caught?
To better preserve the wild supplies of these fish and ensure they remain for future generations, many species of salmon are raised in a farm rather than caught in the wild. For these species, the most advanced aquaculture methods are used fish are harvested each day to provide high quality options. Alternatively, wild salmon varieties can be caught in many different ways. Sometimes, a hook method can be used to get one on the line, but other species often require gil net or seine fishing to get the job done right. This way, fishermen can capture the largest number of fish to keep a steady supply.
