farm raised

Not wild-caught

Farm raised describes animals or fish bred and grown in controlled agricultural settings rather than caught or hunted in the wild.

The term appears most often with seafood: farm-raised salmon, farm-raised shrimp.

It contrasts with wild-caught and may carry connotations—positive (sustainable, available year-round) or negative (less flavorful, environmental concerns)—depending on context and consumer attitudes.
