Once in the wild you do sweep them up. Farm operations keep gillnets on site so if the cage fails somehow the net is deployed.
In any case cage raised salmon are very unfit for natural survival. They are conditioned to only eat pellets and stay next to the cage if they do escape mainly. Also the conditions that make them grow fast means they do not have as much energy to put into immune responses, hunting, etc so they would probably suck in the open ocean and not be able to find enough food to support all that growth anyway.
Finally any GMO salmon will have induced triploidy and therefore they will not be doing any breeding if they do escape, avoid the gill net, learn to hunt, and somehow find tremendous amounts of food.

It is Spiderman 3 you know. Everyone watching knows the story of Spidey and MJ now so they can devote more time to the baddies.
I was thinking more along the lines of a few rounds of "Flick the Bean".
Also, If they're just sitting there being bored, implying they could only attract hosers who play Starcraft all day, maybe they're too ugly to cheat.
