Ocean fish farming is more a conversion process than a production process. Most of the feed is wild catch fish.

but does this apply blanket-like to all farmed seafood, or is it mostly about fish?

E.g. I would expect shrimp, mussels, clams to not be fed processed wild catch, unlike salmon.

Something like 3lbs of wild caught fish as feed to produce 1lb of farmed salmon.
