09/1/2004 13:24 | WASHINGTON (AFX) - Farmed salmon contains significantly higher levels of toxic substances than the more expensive wild variety, a team of US and Canadian researchers said. An article published yesterday by the US review Science said analysis of some two tonnes of farmed salmon from around the world notably found higher concentrations of toxic chemicals known as PCB's, and chlorinated pesticides, than in wild fish. The pollution, which is a potential cause of cancer in humans, is believed to come from the types of food given fish farm raised salmon, the researchers said, adding that more research on the issue has to be done. A statement released on behalf of the research team by the State University of New York at Albany also said that European-raised salmon tended to contain higher levels of contaminants than salmon raised in North and South America. The researchers "cite the need for additional studies on salmon feed which is high in fish meal and fish oil and a likely source of the contaminant," the statement said. It added that, on the basis of cancer risk criteria developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, "contaminant levels found in some farmed salmon may be high enough to detract from the health benefits of eating fish." Adding that their study is by far the broadest and most representative on the issue released to date, they have recommended that consumers reduce their intake of farmed salmon. newsdesk@afxnews.com pch/ds/jz/ims/ | maywillow | |
09/1/2004 12:52 | FISH STOCK RELATED LONDON (AFX) - A body for the Scottish salmon industry has strongly criticised the scientific study reported on today which claims that salmon farmed in Europe is heavily contaminated by cancer-causing chemicals, and has described the findings as "deliberately misleading". "Research published in Science magazine this week appears to be deliberately misleading in the advice it gives on farmed salmon consumption," Scottish Quality Salmon, a quality assurance body for the Scottish salmon industry, said in a statement on its website. Meanwhile, the UK government's Food Standards Agency has urged people to keep eating Scottish farmed salmon after the study claimed European farmed fish is so contaminated by cancer-causing chemicals that, in the worst cases, it should be eaten only three times a year. newsdesk@afxnews.com bcp/lth/jz/ims/ OTHER EXCELLENT ADVFN FISH THREADS | maywillow |
