Selon un article intitulé «Risk-based consumption advice for farmed Atlantic and wild Pacific salmon contamined with dioxins and dioxin-like compounds», publié en mai 2005 (Foran et al., 2005, Environmental Health Perspectives, 113:552-556), des teneurs beaucoup plus élevées en substances telles que les PCB, le toxaphène, la dieldrine, les dioxines et les éthers de diphényles polybromés ont été détectées dans des saumons provenant d’élevages européens que dans des saumons issus d’exploitations piscicoles d’Amérique du Nord et du Sud.
