Chilean salmon farmer and fishing company Pesquera Camanchaca is recovering after the eruption of the Calbuco volcano.
The volcano began erupting on April 22 and hit the company's main farming location alongside the river Pertohue, affecting nearly half of its 14.4 million fish at various stages of development.
The 7 million fish that survived were distributed among the companies other sites and are now growing with normal survival rates across the board.
"We have made extraordinary efforts -- in a sense, epic --with highly effective logistical and technical deployments, to save half of our hatcheries and to access alternative sources of smolts, thereby maintaining stocks and confirming the quality of our staff, the strength of our assets and the resilience of the organization," said Ricardo Garcia Holtz, general manager at Camanchaca.
