Suzy Ross 236 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 OSLO (AFP) - Norwegian fish farming giant Marine Harvest has promised a 60 euro (S$100) reward on Monday for any recaptured salmon after a violent storm over the weekend allowed thousands to escape. The unusual move comes after western Norway was whipped by strong winds, causing damage to the huge submerged cage in which 127,000 of the fish are kept by the world's largest salmon producer. Marine Harvest deployed nets in the surrounding areas in an attempt to catch the two-kilogramme swim-aways, but is also offering 500 kroner for each fugitive returned. The escapees are damaging to the marine ecosystem because the farmed salmon weaken the genetic makeup of their wild cousins if they reproduce with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kranky 507 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 This is old news, there's some guys flying over from New Zealand in helicopters and they are going to parachute tiny collars and leads down into the water. The salmon will swim into the collars and then the kiwi pilots will just hover over the water, collect up all the leads and then it's a simple matter of dragging the fish back to their enclosure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the same story they even got some semi professional trout ticklers interested in the recapture as well were they wait for them to go upstream under the river banks tickle their genetalia then whip them on the bank Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caprelous 217 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 if Jim had been here or any of his trout tickling mates he would have sorted it for them, mind you I am not sure if he is dead I heard he was seen recently bobbing up and down on a bouy off the east coast of Scarborough, Sussex i suppose his other trout ticking mates could help them out and fix it.
