When compared to a control group raised on regular food, they exhibited higher weight gain and better food-to-growth conversion, plus their flesh was higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. [14] [15]
An example of this is the parasitic sea lice on wild and farmed Atlantic salmon in Canada. [47] Also, non-indigenous species which are farmed may have resistance to, or carry, particular diseases (which they picked up in their native habitats) which could be spread through wild populations if they escape into those wild populations.

In the same study farm-raised salmon did not have any roundworm larvae.
