Sciency folks, in terms of statistics, does it matter at lal that the sample sizes were so diverse? The fact that they tested so much more salmon, and that it was mostly labled correctly, appears to really skew the numbers. As an aside, I'm wondering what looks enough like salmon to get mislabeled as such.

The NYTimes article says farm raised gets sold as wild caught.
