Corey Peet, aquaculture research analyst with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program, acknowledges that Loch Duart exercises some good practices, but whether that's enough to negate all the problems surrounding the farmed salmon industry remains to be seen. In general, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's "Seafood Watch" program recommends avoiding farmed salmon because they are grown in huge nets that float in the ocean, resulting in excess waste and food pollution. Farmed salmon sometimes escape from pens, too, and end up competing with wild fish for food and habitat. They also often are raised using pesticides, antibiotics and chemical additives that change the fish's normal gray pallor into the more familiar orange hue.
