Mowi Canada West issued a statement saying that 2.6 million fish from their hatcheries on Vancouver Island are at risk of being killed as opposed to the 8.3 millions estimated earlier this week.

In an statement emailed to the Mirror Wednesday, Feb. 10, Dean Dobrinsky, Mowi Canada West香蕉视频直播檚 human resources, safety and communications manager, said, 香蕉视频直播淭here was a desire to clearly define the immediate impact as the 2.6 million smolts (those that are active in our sea sites and hatcheries) after it originally was picked up by the trades as culling 8.3 million smolt in our hatcheries.香蕉视频直播�

The calculations were estimated based on the the company香蕉视频直播檚 five year operations cycle 香蕉视频直播� from broodstock through the hatcheries to sea sites and then the harvest, said Dobrinsky.

香蕉视频直播淚n the immediate term, there are 2.6 million fish currently at sea or in our hatcheries at risk of being killed if we are unable to find a home for them. As we have a five year operational cycle, we have millions of fish in our system that will also have to be killed if we cannot find locations for them to grow to harvest,香蕉视频直播� said the statement.

The statement for the new estimates were issued after the aquaculture company香蕉视频直播檚 parent company Mowi ASA estimated a significantly lower smolt cull.
