Back in April 2012, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered aquaculture firm Cooke Aquaculture to slaughter hundreds of thousands of virus-infected salmon farmed at its Shelburne County processing plant, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Back then, the company said the agency would compensate it for the loss of the fish, in the same way farmers are compensated when sick cattle and other land animals must be killed.
The compensation figure - CAD$13million, or roughly $13 per fish - was released this week according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which filed a freedom of information request with the agency.
