One of the key issues for salmon companies to be able to win the battle against ISA is to improve various of their current production systems.
They need to invest in sanitary issues, water recirculation farms, new harvesting systems, but this takes money, and some companmies say they can't afford the cost.Complicating matters, banks increasingly consider the salmon farming sector as risky and are not giving loans.
The government announced this week the treasury might sign off on the bill review and grant the financial guarantees for the salmon farming industry.
