Icelandic salmon farmer Arnalax discovered a tear in one of its salmon pen nets, reports MAST, the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority, according to Iceland Review.
The tear was discovered by divers yesterday morning, and repairs have been completed.
Arnarlax found the tear on a salmon pen next to Hringsdalur in Arnarfjörður fjord, in the Westfjords of Iceland and reported it to MAST, which is now inspecting the case. Arnarlax is working with the Directorate of Fisheries to put out nets in order to inspect whether any farmed salmon escaped.
