The pens in British Columbia are Pacific Salmon, so both Atlantic and
Pacific are farmed. There is a lot of resistance to using Atlantic salmon

"Here in BC, as in other places were salmon are farmed, Atlantic salmon are
the most common species grown. Atlantics make up a little more than 80% of
total farmed salmon production in this province, with the remainder made up
of native Pacific salmon species (mainly Chinook and Coho)."
