“It is Pan Fish’s intent to be completely withdrawn from fish farming activities in the United States within the first half of 2005 if possible through a divestment,” the company was quoted by Reuters as saying.


The struggling group, which is currently controlled by banking groups Nordea and DnB NOR, has been trying to cut costs and reduce debt. Its US business is based in Washington state and has a book value of US$21m, reported Reuters.
