A lot of fish you would buy at the supermarket is farm-raised. Especially catfish, salmon, and tilapia.

Good thing about farm-raised fish is that it is less contaminated, because it is usually mostly plant-fed. But it also makes it less nutritious.

Depends on what materials one classifies as a “contaminant”.

Also, they might be "mostly" plant fed but a big part of their diet is made up of wild fish!

Unfortunately, a lot of farm-raised fish are fed smaller fish from natural ecosystems, effectively shifting but maintaining the overfishing problem.

If you care about omega-3 (you probably should) without contributing to overfishing (again, imho you probably should), get an algal-oil based supplement. Prices are pretty competitive nowadays.
