Core Tip: Mainstream Norway detected salmon alpha virus (SAV) in fish at its aquaculture site Tuvan in Langefjorden, Finnmark and suspects pancreas disease (PD) at the site.
CermaqMainstream Norway, part of salmon producer Cermaq, detected salmon alpha virus (SAV) in fish at its aquaculture site Tuvan in Langefjorden, Finnmark and suspects pancreas disease (PD) at the site.

The Norwegian Food Authority and other farming companies in the region have been informed about the situation and the site has been quarantined. Mainstream is now cooperating with the food authorities developing a plan for harvesting of the site.

The Tuvan site contains about 580,000 fish with an average weight of 2 kilograms and harvest was originally planned for the third quarter of this year. The harvest of biomass at the site is expected to have only limited financial impact.

Mainstream’s two farming sites in Langfjorden, Tuvan and Rivarbukt, have been subject to comprehensive controls after SAV virus was detected in the fish at the neighbouring site Ytre Kloven in August 2012. It has not been registered SAV in the biomass at Rivarbukt. The control of the fish at the Rivarbukt site will continue.
