Which statement describes the Salmon described?

Which statement describes the Salmon described?

• A. Not anadromous
• B. Non-migratory
• C. Wild-caught and not farmed
• D. Farmed and sustainable

Answer: (D)

This item tests understanding of farming versus wild production and what sustainable practices mean in seafood labeling. Describing the salmon as farmed and sustainable communicates two things: the fish is raised through aquaculture rather than caught in the wild, and the farming methods are carried out in a way that aims to minimize environmental impact and support long-term viability. This pairing is the most informative and responsible descriptor, aligning with common industry standards that value both production method and environmental stewardship. The other statements conflict with that framing: salmon are naturally migratory (anadromous), so not anadromous or non-migratory descriptions don’t fit; wild-caught implies not farmed, which contradicts the given description.
