It's an interesting question and depends on what you consider the
boundary between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Is the southernmost
coast of Chile in the Atlantic or Pacific or both? In any case, Atlantic
Salmon (Salmo salar) is different from the five (?) Pacific Salmon
species. There has been concern expressed about Atlantic salmon that
have escaped into the Pacific and growing Salmo salar in Pacific farms
would just add to the problem.
