I would surmize grey muscle matter (rather than orange) in farmed Salmon is due to substituting steroid chemical-induced muscle growth for natural muscle development ocurring over 50,000 miles of swimming.
As an aside, I believe the North Atlantic Salmon spends 3 to 4 years at sea before first returning home to spawn, and is 7 years old before its really the marketable commercial Salmon we think of on our plate. These critters simply require too much time before they're mature -- their population cannot sustain food demands.
