Aquaculture Group to Sue University

The aquaculture group is claiming A$1.5 million in damages after 60,000 fish died during the trial.

According to ABC, the Tassal Group has lodged a writ over the alleged loss of fish in a research trial.

In a statement of claim lodged in the Supreme Court, Tassal says it agreed to let the university use some of its salmon in a field trial in December 2005.

The trial involved using a substance called Chloramine T to treat amoebic gill disease, ABC reports.

Tassal alleges more than 60,000 fish died due to an overdose caused by the negligence of the university and its agents.
