GYRO INFECTED FISH HAVE ESCAPED

Escaped Rainbow trout have escaped form an infected farm in the Swedish lake (Bullaren)

The Norwegian environment minister has demanded that the Swedish minister implement better and safer methods to stop the spread of more parasites into Norwegian waterways He has also demanded that all infected fish should be removed and destroyed. His concerns for the salmon river that sits down stream from this infected farm has been voiced with out so much of a response of reasonability from his Swedish counterpart

Finally in November the two countries met for a forum and as result the Swedish have agreed to remove half of the infected fish and salt treat the remaining. This the Norwegian minister claimedthis to be both to late and to little action to protect the Norwegian river system that is just over the boarder.
