I read while researching (sorry, didn't keep the link) of a two-year study comparing people taking fish oil with people eating fish two or three times a week. The fish-eaters got as much effect as the oil-takers.
I also read that farmed salmon had as much Omega-3 in it as other salmon if the fisheries were feeding the salmon other fish instead of grain. How much less Omega 3 is in the grain-fed fish was not available.
I also read, however, in the New York Times last month that the toxins in our waters are in our farm-fed fish. It's getting hard to beat the polluters. I think they've got us. The reporter went so far as to suggest we shouldn't eat farm-fed salmon more than once a month.
