Salmon farmers in southern Chile have activated contingency plans as harmful algal blooms hit salmon farms in the region.
Chile’s salmon-farming industry lowered its antimicrobial use nearly 32 percent in 2022, according to Sernapesca.
A Sernapesca report found Chile's salmon farmers used antimicrobials at levels not seen since 2017, and salmon farmers said it was due to multiple factors.
Salmones Camanchaca grew first quarter revenues to USD 80.9 million (EUR 77.7 million), up 16.3 percent when compared to the same quarter of 2021.
Chile's Sernapesca confirmed the escape of salmon from farmer Caleta Bay, and said it will file a complaint for the company's breach of regulations.
