Found this on the Govement site, should help prevent confusion in th future.
Origin and production methods of fish
A survey by the Food Standards Agency has found that 15% of supposedly wild salmon, 11% of sea bream and 10% of sea bass were farmed, and that 15% of retailers were in breach of regulations due to incorrect advice or no information about the production method and origin of the fish. It is now a legislative requirement to state the production method (whether 'wild' or 'farmed') and the geographic origin of fish at the point of retail sale. The FSA said that increasing numbers of consumers want to know about the origin and production methods of the food they buy.
