Would the salmon be ok to eat? Surely it wouldn't be any different than buying a salmon & sticking it in the freezer?
Id hate to see them go to waste

Hmm, sounds kinda fishy.

Try a salmon eile.

We need some Ryvita on the scene STAT!

Freshly frozen suffocated salmon, contact Channel 4, could be the making of a new whacky trend?

Those fish farmers should be put in their plaice.

I was whiting for a tragedy like this to occur.

This could cost a lot of money, I heard to the tuna 1 million euro.

Erm... fish

Wait, what?

gonedrinking · 24-12-2010 1:59pm

40 years of research down the drain, stupid fish

Manager Martin McAleese said: "Every morning we are smashing ice and unless you keep the water running in the tanks overnight, they'll run out of oxygen. The fish suffocate."

I wonder what they're using to break the ice

Maybe a fishy chat up line, you're like a prize winning fish, I don't know whether to eat you or mount you

DrumSteve · 24-12-2010 2:06pm

You'd be like a reverse Cú Chulainn and by eating it you'd become a retard.

The other salmon farmers must be piscine themselves.

evercloserunion · 24-12-2010 2:18pm

How cod they let this happen!

dsmythy · 24-12-2010 2:24pm

I forgot the plural for salmon was salmon for a second and thought you were talking about one unfortunate fish who met his demise

When one salmon dies, it's a tragedy; when thousands of salmon die, it's a statistic.

Why is our President's husband running a fish farm in Antrim?

mike65 · 24-12-2010 2:46pm

Cos there is no fish farm in Phoenix Park?

Mount Sackville is near enough?

"These fish are vital, not only for angling, but for the research which has been going on for almost 40 years. If they don't survive, then that's a big gap in the research."

How long does it take to grow more fish?

anniehoo · 24-12-2010 3:31pm

I call "lies" on that story. Fish can survive for ages under frozen water and if it was a research project then the scientist deserves to have it happen if they werent monitoring the water in this weather.

It'll take a while in this weather, as they'll have to wait until the ground thaws to plant the seeds.

amdublin · 24-12-2010 3:57pm

Poor little salmon

I would always have referred to farmers as breeding livestock and growing vegetation.

karlog · 24-12-2010 4:57pm

Cant they just thaw them out and cook them, they'll still be fresh i presume?

You're just annoyed you can't come up with one. It's not that hard, it's not like you need to be a brain sturgeon.

I thought it was Fionn and Finn was the oul lad he was meant to be making it for.

TanG411 · 24-12-2010 7:25pm

I guess the salmon had no knowledge of that happening.
