I do not eat scottish salmon, I only eat pure alaskan salmon which I catch out of freshwater. They may actually contain fat, because I find those white strips in my salmon also, however is the portion of fat to the portion of meat big enough to take huge effects? What would the fish in the wild contain?

I have noticed w/c salmon are lower in fat such as Atlantic salmon.as far as the effect on aquarium fish I don't know good or bad, it used it to help get my gar off of live

In the wild TSNs pray on cichlids and other tropical fish and also crustaceans. 99% of them are very lean - they don't need fat neither for energy nor for buoyancy. (Some, rare fish like pacu can have significant fat deposits to survive the dry season in tributaries and seasonal ponds, not so in the main river channels.) Cold-water fish all need fat but to various extents.
Been proven beyond any doubt at Public Aquaria that feeding even such cold-water-but-highly-adaptable-to-warm-water fish as goldfish to tropical predators, f/w or salt, results in fat deposits around their internal organs as their body is not built to process such amounts of fat. The usual diagnoses are "death from a fatty liver disease".

Yeah that sounds right, I guess fat is around their organs for protection or something? I can't imagine insulation since Trout and salmon can live in like -20 degree weather!
+1 cnel I've caught lake trout ice fishing when the air temp was well below zero.not sure what the water temp was.

I was suspicious about the amount of fat in salmon. I watched a documentary because I never remembered the silvers and reds that I've caught over the years having so much fat (or the white bars), the source clearly shows wild salmon does not have as much fat in it, a substantial difference. Although fat is always present, I still agree with my original opinion of wild sockeye and coho salmon being fine for feeding fish.
He looks great! I love that clown knife, as well; I've always wanted to own one, but I worry about their potential size, with my aquarium's 24" width.
