This is an emergency situation that must be rectified immediately to prevent the loss of research fish and many years of research that has gone into the genetic improvement of the fish. Time is of the essence. Loss of one of our backup wells would result in the collapse of year's worth of research. It is absolutely necessary to get the primary well up as soon as possible to prevent such loses.
