Salmon residue still coating environment around sites of N.L. farmed fish deaths 
By Holly McKenzie-Sutter CA Source: The Canadian Press 10/29/2019

Almost two months after millions of farmed salmon died in southern Newfoundland, concerns are still being raised about leftover residue from the dead fish lingering around the sea cages.

Northern Harvest Sea Farms, owned by Norwegian company Mowi, says 2.6 million of its fish have died since the beginning of September due to a long period of high water temperatures.

Images of the messy cleanup and slow public disclosure of the incident have prompted environmental concerns and discussions about how the province’s growing aquaculture industry is regulated.
 

Bill Bryden of the Newfoundland and Labrador Coalition for Aquaculture Reform says he visited the area this weekend and saw solid, smelly salmon fat clinging to rocky shores.

Bryden, who shared images with The Canadian Press, described “ping pong ball-sized balls of fat” rendering into a liquid form.

He said he also witnessed what appeared to be a thin layer of oily liquid from the dead fish spreading through the water.

“It reeks,” Bryden said. “You’ll smell it from a mile away.”

Northern Harvest said Sunday it had removed all mortalities from the sites, and staff remain “focused on any remaining site cleanup activity.”

Spokesman Jason Card clarified Tuesday that Sunday’s statement was meant to share the “milestone” that all salmon mortalities had been removed from the cages, but acknowledged that some sites look better than others.
