In addition to the Atlantic salmon, coho season also started in the third quarter of 2020 and accounted for the remaining 35 metric tons of the total.
Salmones Camanchaca is maintaining its full-year harvest estimates for 2020 at between 51,000 and 53,000 metric tons of Atlantic salmon and about 3,000 metric tons of coho, it said.
The company’s full third-quarter report will be released on Nov. 11.
