Investors are likely to stick with Atlantic Sapphire despite the latest in a series of setbacks for the land-based salmon farmer, analysts told IntraFish.

Shares in Atlantic Sapphire closed Wednesday trading in Oslo down 5.6 percent after three sub-contractors were overcome by fumes and fell into a large fish tank at the company's Miami facility.

The workers were removed from the tank and given medical attention before being transferred to a hospital.

The incident happened in a grow-out system that was not in use, and there was no impact on farming operations, the company said in a statement.
