Pisciculture Acadienne, an aquaculture farm on the Acadian Peninsula, says the estimated 95,000 to 100,000 fish it lost were worth at least $600,000.

Owner Emmanuel Chiasson said the extreme weather caused a power outage, and the farm's generator failed. Without power, no water was circulating in the fish's tanks, so the fish ran out of oxygen.

He said the future of his farm, which has five employees, including himself, is uncertain.

"It takes like two years to build an inventory like that," he said.

"I don't know what's going to be next, but for sure we're going to need help."
