Around 5,000 salmon are feared to have escaped from a fish farm in Northern Ireland, regional reports suggest.

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs is carrying out an investigation into the incident.

The alarm was raised after a tear in a salmon cage at a site in Glenarm, County Antrim, at the weekend. Glenarm Organic Salmon is Northern Ireland’s only salmon farm, but the company has so far declined to comment.
