Norwegian seafood giant Mowi is offering a 500 kroner (about USD $44) reward per fish to registered fishermen after 27,000 farmed Atlantic salmon escaped from a damaged enclosure during a storm off the coast of Troms.
The escaped fish, weighing around 12 pounds each, were ready for harvest.
Marine researcher Monica Solberg warned that if the farmed salmon breed with wild populations, it could alter their genetics and threaten the already declining wild salmon population.
Mowi hopes the bounty will help prevent ecological disruption by swiftly recapturing the escaped fish.

“Marine researcher Monica Solberg warned that if the farmed salmon breed with wild populations, it could alter their genetics and threaten the already declining wild salmon population”. So, just what have they done to the genetics of the farmed salmon?
Just don t buy it. Full of chemicals and parasites.
They are stupid if they think ‘registered fishermen’ will recapture 27,000 escaped fish. They’d be lucky to recapture 1%.
Nincompoops.
Very very dangerous nincompoops.
But hey, the waspnest bullshiticians want to tell us that GM food is safe.
If you didn’t catch the fish don’t eat it..
Your supporting a disgusting industry if you do
