I am sorry, I am not getting your logic. Are you saying that the shrimp and salmon would be taking fish from the ocean anyway, so, if we are taking only 1.8 kilos of fish to grow 1 kilo of salmon or shrimp, we are doing good?

A couple of things:

1. Salmon and shrimp don't trawl for their food and destroy large swaths of the seabed, seahorses, sand dollars, etc.

2. Shrimp don't live off of captured fish in the wild. They eat dead fish, plankton, and etc. Scooping up bait fish to feed them is man's answer to feeding them when farm raising them.
