You're completely correct, Ranée. If you look in the quote below,
you'll see wild and farmed fish included.

"Country of Origin Labeling is a labeling law that requires retailers,
such as full-line grocery stores, supermarkets, and club warehouse
stores, notify their customers with information regarding the source
of certain foods. Food products, (covered commodities) contained in
the law include muscle cut and ground meats: beef, veal, pork, lamb,
goat, and chicken; wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish; fresh and
frozen fruits and vegetables; peanuts, pecans, and macadamia nuts; and
ginseng. Regulations for fish and shellfish covered commodities (7 CFR
Part 60) became effective in 2005. The final rule for all covered
commodities (7 CFR Part 60 and Part 65) went into effect on March 16,
2009. AMS is responsible for administration and enforcement of COOL."
