The USDA food-component database lists farm-raised Atlantic salmon as being superior to wild-caught, with respect to omega-3 concentrations. It all depends on the aquaculture method, though. There have been experiments which involved that whole feather-meal, bonemeal, ground up animal bits sort of thing, but fish meal (ground up trash fish, with trash being a word that wouldn't make those fishes' mothers very happy) was always superior. In Europe, and probably in lesser amounts than it once was, soy-based rations were popular. I think they've moved away from that, though.
As it stands now, as far as I can tell, there is no advantage to either farm-raised or wild-caught fish oils.
