Camanchaca has revised the number of expected salmon mortalities at its said its storm-hit Islotes salmon production site in Chile's southern Los Lagos region to 100,000.

A previous estimate put losses at 85,000.

So far 24,000 dead salmon have been counted but the company expects this total to rise much higher once all fish are removed from the site.

While platforms and other equipment suffered structural damage, netting remained largely intact at the facility which was damage by a storm last week.
