The incident was reported on the Newfoundland Aquaculture Portal on 31 August, after discovering the mortalities exceeded 10 percent. Following inventories in recent days, Mowi Canada East estimated that the total farm inventories prior to the incident were 1,710,424 fish across the three sites, and that current losses are in the region of 400,000 fish. We are committed to providing a final update to the public via the Newfoundland Aquaculture Portal once it is known,” wrote Mowi Canada East in a public statement on LinkedIn. Measures taken include the mandatory public reporting of the incident and cooperation with on-site inspections carried out by departmental officials. It is an unfortunate fact that all livestock farmers will encounter and must manage environmental mortality events from time to time,” added Mowi Canada East.
