Climate change

Our way of producing fresh salmon is highly dependent on the benefits of the natural environment that we operate in

Fish farming on land and at sea usually requires a significant amount of energy for feeding, water circulation, lifting, moving and transportation. Energy consumption occurs throughout our value chain and is primarily linked to the provision of energy to the fish pools and use of office buildings.

Our concept is based on flow-through technology which does not require energy to lift, clean, cool or heat up the seawater, meaning that there is no need for an intensive water treatment plant. The natural conditions at Andøya are important in this aspect, as the proximity to the Gulf Stream, which provides access to seawater with attractive temperatures. The flow-through system naturally pushes the water through pools. As a result, our fish farming facility has low energy consumption.

Climate projects

Since our inception, we have taken part in several projects aiming to combat climate change. One of them is RESIST – a climate project led by the independent research organisation SINTEF and that aims to improve ability of rural areas to deal with climate change. Read more about the project here:
