Nutritionally they are very similar. The specific nutrient content of farm-raised salmon is dependent on feed. However, generally, farm-raised salmon are a little higher in fat, thus a little higher in omega-3 fatty acids. Both are good choices to increase omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fish (preferably fatty fish such as salmon) per week.
