Mowi, the world's largest Atlantic salmon producer, is offering a bounty of 500 kroner ($44) per fish after 27,000 salmon escaped from a farm damaged by a storm. The escaped fish are believed to be in the waters off the coast of Troms, Norway. Mowi is concerned about the potential risks to the wild salmon population if the farmed fish interbreed.
A seafood company in Norway is offering a bounty on its salmon after some 27,000 of them escaped from a farm. Mowi, the world's largest producer of Atlantic salmon, announced recently that about a quarter of its stock had escaped after a fence was damaged during a storm. The fish are believed to be in the waters off the coast of Troms, a city in northwest Norway , the Norwegian media outlet VG reported earlier this week.
The average weight of an Atlantic salmon is between eight and 12 pounds, according to the website for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife service.
