Huge Norwegian processing vessel rushes to scene of Arctic Fish disaster to aid 'emergency harvest'

One of the world's largest salmon processing vessels has arrived in Iceland's western fjords to assist Arctic Fish with the emergency harvest of salmon following a mass mortality event over the weekend that killed 1,500-2,000 metric tons of fish.

"The most important thing now is to get the fish out of the cages as quickly as possible," Gisli Jonsson, a senior veterinarian at the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority, told IntraFish. "We have given Norwegian Gannet permission to help with emergency harvest."
