The enormous algal blooms, due to recent warm weather, have spread rapidly around Norway’s northern coast, sticking to fishes’ gills and suffocating them.

Wild fish can swim away from the lethal clouds of aquatic organisms, but farmed fish are trapped.
 

The algae is continuing to spread, the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries said.

The organisation said on Tuesday that more than 10,000 tonnes of farmed salmon, with a sales price of some 620 million Norwegian crowns (£56m), had been killed, but the Seafood Council said the loss would be much greater.
