Actress Pamela Anderson has joined the campaign against fish farming and has been urging people to choose wild salmon over farmed products.

The 49-year-old former "Baywatch" star, also an activist, has been trying hard to convince people to consume wild salmon because they are healthier for them and the environment, reported Female First.

"Salmon farms keep pens in the ocean, where the fish swim in their own feces, and breed disease and sea lice that kill wild salmon, threatening the orcas' ability to feed I learned about the fish farms and how devastating they are," Anderson said.

The mother-of-two was joined by environmental advocate David Suzuki as she helped raise awareness of the presence of a virus in farmed salmon for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
