Grieg Seafood, a salmon grower in Canada and Norway, has successfully challenged a decision to remove hundreds of thousands of fish from a location where jellyfish attacks have occurred.

In response to fish deaths at Grieg’s Vinnalandet site on January 29, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority issued an order on February 6 directing Grieg to remove, stun, and kill every fish in four cages. Chain jellyfish attacks, which include the “barbed wire” jellyfish Apolemia uvaria, were responsible for a considerable portion of the fish losses in Norway last year.

Grieg stated in documents obtained by Kyst.no, the Norwegian sister site of Fish Farming Expert, that the Norwegian Food Safety Authority had, in essence, based its judgement on an evaluation of Vinnalandet’s future welfare.

The basis for these projections needs to be a Grieg Seafood noted in its lawsuit that the Norwegian Food Safety Authority took the stance that damage incurred prior to December 11, 2023 was the primary cause of the higher mortality following that date.

Stated differently, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority believed that injuries received during jellyfish attacks a few weeks prior accounted for the majority of the deaths in Vinnalandet. Even though the jellyfish attacks are essentially over at this point, the assessment at the time of the judgement gave cause to believe that the higher mortality would also last for many weeks,” the business stated in its appeal.

Grieg Seafood underlined that, as of January 23, there has been no invasion or fresh jellyfish sightings, therefore there has been no need to pick out jellyfish.

According to Grief’s experience, jellyfish assaults almost never happen after February.

“This strengthens the likelihood that Vinnalandet’s mortality rate will drop and return to normal in a few weeks. Injuries following a jellyfish assault are also not associated with any risk of infection.

The chief of the Finnmark division of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, Cecilie Hansen, notified Kyst.no on Friday, February 16, that the culling decision was rescinded yesterday.

“The historical context consists of an examination of the provided records that shown a significant decline in mortality, and verification oversight that validated this finding. We have overturned the judgement because we believe the daily activities can adequately address the welfare situation in the four cages,” Hansen said.
