As for salmon, the China Fisheries Association said that the open living environment and uncontrollable prey make wild salmon more susceptible to diseases or parasites than farmed species. Compared with other freshwater warm-water fish, the culture environment of rainbow trout is very harsh. Natural reservoirs or underground springs are generally used, and the probability of infection with parasites is extremely low.
But the human body is susceptible to parasites. Liu Chun 'e, an associate professor at Yantai Research Institute of China Agricultural University, said that the parasites carried by freshwater fish are much higher than those carried by marine fish. When testing, it is mainly to detect several common parasites that human beings are easy to infect.
"Whether salmon has parasites does not depend on whether it grows in seawater or fresh water, but whether its growth process is safe and controllable. Industrial farming with standardized management, strict monitoring, clean water quality and excellent feed makes the quality of salmon easier to ensure and safer to eat. " China Fisheries Association stressed. Source: China News Network
