Mass deaths in Germany's greatest fish farming: 80 tons dead!

Wietzendorf, Deutschland - An alarming event shakes Germany's largest fish farming in Wietzendorf. According to a report by Landeszeitung.de died in the night about 32,000 salmon trout last Saturday, which corresponds to a shocking loss of around 80 tons of fish. The reason for this was an open valve of a fish pool that led to a critical water loss. Despite an alarm, the fish died, and the police are now investigating in this tragedy with three possible scenarios: human failure, technical defect or even sabotage.

The Meinholz fish farming, known for its high -quality salmon trout and as one of the leading caviar producers in Europe, is now faced with enormous financial losses. The damage could be up to 480,000 euros, as those responsible report. Interestingly, the company recently received the renowned Seafood Star 2025 for its quality and sustainability, as Heidefisch.de . These ambitious efforts in sustainable fish farming are now in a sharp contrast to the current disaster.

role of the veterinary office

Although the veterinary office has not determined a violation of the Animal Welfare Act, this could mean that the affected fish that may not have to be used as a lack of oxygen may no longer be used as food. A proof of the company's prudence in relation to fish quality is that the dead fish were brought into suitable companies for processing as an animal by -product. In the aquaculture, which is operated by Heidefisch, those responsible aim to meet the demand for sustainably produced fish and therefore work under modern conditions that are resource -friendly.

The mass extinction of salmon trout raises questions about the security infrastructure and work processes in one of the leading fish farms in Germany. The ongoing investigations by the police will be crucial to clarify the exact circumstances of this catastrophe.
