Chilean salmon farmer Nova Austral’s misreporting of fish mortalities on its farms is about much more than just poor accounting.
The repercussions of the company's behavior have poured over the past few weeks, with the latest news being the exit of CEO Nicos Nicolaides, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council's (ASC) decision to suspend its logo contract with the company.
On Tuesday, Chile’s Sernapesca decided to file three lawsuits against Nova Austral after its two-week investigation into alleged misreporting of mortalities at its farms, prompted by a media report from El Mostrador accusing the company of falsifying its records.
