Additional information:
Economic losses:
Management decision: Transportation of fish cages into fjords, or river mouths in order to reach low saline water, where the causative organisms obviously did not have a toxic effect. Considerable monitoring in orther to know the distribution of the organisms.
Additional harmful effect information: Severe damage to marine life, including fish, mollusca, macro algae and probably zooplankton
