ArticleBody:People in the U.S. eat more salmon than any other fish, chowing down on an annual average of nearly 3.5 pounds per capita, according to the National Fisheries Institute. It’s second only to shrimp in the seafood popularity contest. But not all of that salmon is as advertised, according to new research. Salmon sold in Seattle-area sushi restaurants and grocery stores is mislabeled about 18 percent of the time, according to a study published November 6 in the journal PLOS One.
Nearly all farmed salmon in the U.S. is Atlantic salmon, a different species from the Pacific salmon caught in commercial fisheries in Alaska and along the West Coast. And all Atlantic salmon sold in the U.S. is farmed. There are five distinct species of Pacific salmon–some more highly valued than others–which made it easy to determine if establishments were labeling their fish accurately. However, the analysis can’t indicate exactly where the point of mislabeling is happening.
