27,000 salmon escaped – Mowi ordered to conduct environmental monitoring and withdrawals in 20 rivers in Nordland and Troms

Just under 5 percent of the escaped farmed fish have been caught since the incident almost two months ago.

Per Øyvind Winther, head of Laukhelle salmon river SA on Senja, believes that both the Directorate of Fisheries and the fish farming company Mowi have been sitting idly by for long enough regarding the escaped farmed fish. “We want to know what happens in the spring and summer,” he says.
