Cod farming industry under scrutiny after series of escapes

In December, an estimated 87,000 cod escaped from a site in northern Norway after holes were discovered in several cages.

There is "potential for improvement" in the management of Norway's cod farming sector, according to the country's Fisheries and Oceans Minister Bjornar Skjaeran.
