Suffered Losses
Chile loses up to $2 million a year in theft of salmon and salmon eggs. Trusal has 28 salmon pools and a total perimeter of 8,000 square meters, and runs one of the country's major fish farming operations. It has and was suffered significant losses from intruders, fishing boats and predators. Since installing Ioimage thefts have been reduced by 75 percent and manpower by 30 percent.View the BYM Marine Environment News story by clicking here.
