Norwegian farmed salmon are among the biggest sources of food-borne contaminants in a normal diet. It contains four times as much dioxin as the highest permissible limit for meat, eggs and milk.

Keep in mind that California is very good at PR. Or bragging. Depends on how you look at it. Other places are similar, of course. Paris, and France in general, comes to mind, but so does Berlin. London can't decide if it's awesome or rubbish, but it knows it's important. California is convinced it's the center of the universe.
The the logic I can draw from your statement is that Norway is a very humble place :)

When I lived in Argentina we would call Sushi restaurants "Salmon shops" as they would never serve Tuna, it would be 95% salmon and some minute pieces of white fish.
Those are raised in Chile probably, the american productor of Salmon. Is the same as Norway for European market (and often farms belong to Norwegian or Norway/Chile mixed companies).
You're probably looking for the English work 'producer'.

speaking of sushi, here's a video about the extinction of blue fin tuna (includes economics, history, culture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hivvTo6VSS8
One more reason to eat salmon sushi, salmon is farmed and will not go extinct.
To this day, the salmon in Japanese sushi restaurants is always labeled サーモン "saamon", which is known to be imported and is OK to eat raw; and never 鮭 "s(h)ake", which is (usually) local and always salted and cooked first -- even though ''shake'' as a term covers all types of salmons.
Another way of see this is that both, Japan and Norway have a big aquaculture industry and they compete. To assure the control of the salmon's market is an essential goal for Norway as nation; they produce 1 million of tons each year for the european market. When somebody tries to farm new salmon (in France or Spain or whatever) they typically flood the market with below cost salmon or trouts until the competence is…
When somebody tries to farm new salmon (in France or Spain or whatever) they typically flood the market with below cost salmon or trouts until the competence is distroyed by lack of rentability. 10 years ago (I think) Norwegian salmon farmers was penalized big time by EU authorities. Haven't heard about anything since then and I refuse to think that Scottish aquafarmers would pass up an opportunity to get the Norwegi…
We have also two big and destructive tsunamis: Indonesia 2005 and Japan 2011. Ironically the banda-aceh tsunami that wipped entire villages favoured a vigorous regrowth of the aquaculture sector from India to Philipines because: 1-the fisher float was distroyed and 2-survivors were mortally afraid of working at the ocean. The sector in Japan have enough economical muscle to survive practically unscathed to the 2011 disaster. Another consequence was a renewed interest of the investors in South-America; and of course China is growing at at impressive "bigger-better-faster" pace that the rest of the world, as always. Aquaculture of trout and salmon in the south of europe is currently frozen and probably will never recover
