Growth hormones. It’s better now than some years ago, but still. Some claim the do not use them at all.

And they use a lot of antibiotics.

And there is some accumulation of dioxins and PCBs in the fat due to the feed, but this has also been approved somewhat.

Why is it fair? Wild salmon also consume astaxanthin.

It’s like complaining that the farmers are bad for trying to mimic the fish’s natural diet.
