A Danish company in Judgment in Norway for a case of environmental disaster in the Sognefjord Fjord. The facts date back to the year of 2022, when Up to 35,000 salmon of fish farm escaped When a ship is entangled in one of the great cultivation networks during a stormy autumn night, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.
Norway has sat on the bench for these facts – which affect the greatest and most deep fjord in Norway – the Danish company Aller Aqua. After a complaint from the Norwegian Fisheries Directorate, the company was sentenced to pay a fine of just over four and a half million Norwegian crowns (almost 380,000 euros). However, the fine was never paid and the Norwegian branch of Aller Aqua denies all responsibility.
Subsequent analyzes also demonstrated that many of the salmon of the fish farm that escaped They were seriously illas reported by the media . And this is bad news for the Norwegian wild salmon, emblem of the country that suffers, however, a dramatic decline for climate change and aquaculture, which has led him to appear under “existential threat.”
“Various diseases have been found in them, so there is a risk that they can transmit them to wild fish,” Professor Anders Koed told the Danish environment. “They enter and spawn with wild fish. The salmon of fish farming is not so well adapted to survive in nature as the wild. Therefore, some genes of the salmon of fish pecifactoría are grafted in the wild population, so that over time its survival worses,” he explained.
After the escape of these fish several operations were launched to capture them, which had a relative success, since 12,000 of the 32,000 copies were recovered. However, the expert stressed that there are still more fish salmon than wild salmon in the rivers of the Sognefjord Fjord.
