Marine Harvest (OSE:MHG, NYSE:MHG): UPDATE IN RELATION TO VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN CHILE

Marine Harvest would like to update the financial market on the recent Calbuco

volcanic eruption. We are pleased to report that all our employees affected by

the eruption are safe and we have not reported any injuries to staff. We have

clearly defined emergency routines in place for such potential events, and are

pleased to see that our staff has responded well in the current unfortunate

circumstances.

We have two sites located within the 20 kilometre exclusion zone put in place by

the national emergency office ONEMI. Rio Blanco is a fresh water hatchery

handling eggs and producing fry, and Copihue is a broodstock facility. Volcanic

material and landslides have affected such operations adversely. In this

incident 6.8 million fry, 2.4 million eyed eggs and around 3,700 broodstock have

been lost.

We are currently in close dialogue with our insurance supplier. Our preliminary

assessment is that insurance proceeds related to physical assets will exceed

asset net book values. In addition, we have insurance coverage of our biomass.

We are in discussion with our insurance provider if the recorded value qualifies

for full recovery. The outcome of such discussions is at this stage uncertain.

Our stocking plans and expected harvest volumes for 2015 and 2016 will not be

affected by the aforementioned events.

Our sea water operations in Region X and Region XI have not been affected by the

volcanic eruption.
