Tasmania's environmental watchdog told a salmon farming giant he 'didn't provide a detailed response' to questions from the ABC about a mass death event in February — as Richard Flanagan's push against the industry gains momentum.

Mr Ford went on to write he had informed Tassal about the media query from the ABC and of his response, which he was not obligated to do, and that if Tassal believed information was market-sensitive the company should seek legislative protection from the government.

The salmon portal, a website managed by the Tasmanian Government's Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment does not yet contain any details about the mass fish death event.

Ultimately, the EPA responded only that elevated mortality could be experienced by all companies over summer, that it was an operational management matter for companies, and "the EPA will not be providing detailed responses on each report it receives from companies".Before the documents were released on Wednesday afternoon, Primary Industries Minister Guy Barnett was asked whether transparency around salmon farming mortality events needed to be improved.
