Questions raised following potential 'major' salmon escape from giant offshore farm

The Directorate of Fisheries has ordered the company to conduct a fish count by the end of the month.

When Arctic Offshore Farming reported the escape on Nov. 20, the Directorate of Fisheries issued a notification describing the incident as "potentially a major escape," according to documents IntraFish has seen.
