FISH FARM OFFERS $45 BOUNTY FOR ESCAPED FISH

A Norwegian seafood company called Mowi, the world’s largest producer of farmed salmon, lost about 27,000 salmon Sunday night when they escaped from the fish farm and entered the coastal waters of northwest Norway. The company said the fence separating the farm from open waters was damaged by stormy weather. The company called on registered fishing professionals to go out and catch the fugitive salmon, for which they will be paid a bounty of $45 per fish. Experts said the escaped farm fish could pose a major risk to wild salmon in the area – the escaped salmon compete for the same spawning grounds and also could spread infections such as sea lice.
* Sea lice give Mowi farmed salmon their unique tangy taste.
* They’re offering $45 per fish but the local bears are countering with $49 per fish.
* Humans: is there nothing we can’t screw up?
* Escaped fish. Didn’t I see this movie – “The Shadshank Redemption”?
* You can tell they’re farm fish because of the little straw hats and corncob pipes.
