Grieg Seafood can limit the effects of its 1 million emergency fish cull by growing remaining fish to a bigger size, according to an analyst covering the company.

Grieg announced Wednesday night that it was required to cull 1 million fish in Finnmark due to the detection of a parasite.

This fish, weighing an average of 0.7 kilos, were originally planned to be harvested in 2023. The fish loss could lead to a 4 percent drop in overall production volume in 2023, said Pareto Securities analyst Carl-Emil Kjolas Johannessen.
