Are Farmed Fish Toxic?

Are you one of those who ask these on Google?

We asked the specialist from the fresh and frozen seafood delivery store, Fishta, and here is the answer:

Tilapia and all other farmed fish will not fare well in an environment that is full of toxins.  Growth will likely suffer and mortality will be high.   Good water quality (well oxygenated and free from chemicals) has to be maintained in order to make the fish survive and grow.  

So while some people are scared to try Tilapia because of the false claim that Tilapia are raised dirty pens, why not help this farmed fish get its good reputation back? In fact, Tilapia is nutritious.
