OSLO (Thomson Financial) - Norwegian fish farmer Marine Harvest ASA said it
has cut its 2007 harvest estimate to 335,000-345,000 tonnes of gutted weight
from the previous figure of 370,000-390,000 tonnes due to ongoing problems with
the health of its fish stocks in Chile.
"Mainly as a result of the challenging biological situation in Chile lower
volumes than expected have been harvested in the third quarter," the firm said,
adding that these problems are expected to continue in the fourth quarter.
