Norway Royal Salmon ASA (NRS): Culling of fish at the site Elva
NRS's farming have detected the fish disease Parvicapsulose caused by the parasite Parvicapsula, and have therefore, for welfare reasons, chosen to cull all fish at the site Elva in Alta municipality. The site has 0.8 million triploid fish with an average weight of 0.65 kilos. The incident will have an impact on the result of the third quarter of 2022 and will reduce NRS's expected harvest volume for 2022 by around 2,000 tonnes to 30,000 tonnes. NRS continues to analyze the consequences and we will return with more information when the reporting for the second quarter of 2022.
