In the early hours of this morning, a fire broke out on a Huon Aquaculture pen in the Channel. The fire damaged approximately a third of a pen, burning through and melting the pen infrastructure above and just below the waterline.

Peter Bender, Huon Aquaculture CEO, said the fire melted the infrastructure and has resulted in a fish loss at Huon's Zuidpool lease.

'We are estimating that we have lost between 50,000 - 52,000 4kg fish and in accordance with our reporting requirements, we have notified MAST, EPA and DPIPWE Marine Farm Branch,' said Peter.
