A
spokesperson for Cooke says some 20,000 salmon escaped into HermitageBay last Wednesday after high currents suddenly submerged one of the
pens.
A net was just being placed on top of one of the pens by
workers when the current caused the anchor to slip, pushing some of
the cages together and resulting in the escape of thousands of
market-ready salmon.
Cooke says DFO and the provincial department of
fisheries were notified immediately and they're now working on a
recapture plan.
The
company says it is working with DFO to get permission to catch the
escaped fish, which are healthy and do not pose an environmental threat. The most likely scenario is that the fish will probably fall
prey to predators, if not caught by licensed fishermen. Cooke says
despite the loss to the company, the escape meant just two days of
lost time at the local processing facility. see more...
