Where large amounts of salmon this is about, he can’t currently answer exactly.
- It is a common subject, and we speak quickly about a million fish, ” says good future prospects system had.
Need to reduce the population
Both the current file must, however, stay on to put out far less fish stocks than what they had when the Fsa intervened.

- it Can be appropriate to do this time also?
we have already done. It means that they can put out significantly less fish the next time they put out the fish, confirming the good future prospects system had.
But before that happens, the plants are washed, desinifiseres and empty without oppdrettaktivitet a period of time – probably until the spring, estimates Røthe Knutsen.
