ISA virus found in two pens at farming site A-19 Vágur

26 May 2024 22:19 CEST

Tests taken at farming site A-19 Vágur have found the presence of the ISA virus
in two pens. The full site has 1.0 million fish in total, with an average weight
of 2.6 kg.

Strict measures have been implemented to contain the virus and prevent further
spread. The two affected pens will be harvested out immediately and the full
site will be harvested out within two months, in line with Faroese
regulation. Consequently, estimates show that harvest volumes for 2024 will be
reduced with 2,000-3,000 tonnes gutted weight by the accelerated harvest of the
entire farming site A-19 Vágur.
