According to FishFarmingXpert. , the general manager of the Chilean Salmon Industry Association (SalmonChile) Carlos Odebret said: “This is very good news, which reflects a series of measures, regulatory and practical modifications that have been changed over this period”.
Mr Odebret appeared pleased with this situation but showed some cautiousness, “this is biology and we have to be constant, because the productive cycle lasts 18 months and we have to wait until this cycle is closed and opens a new one. Clearly, we are satisfied [with these figures] but we can only relax when we have constant production levels with the same sanitary situation as today. We are moving in the right direction, but there is still much work to be done” he concluded.
