The average weight of the salmon in Andfjord Salmon's first pool at Kvalnes,
Andøya, reached 3 kilograms today. The company plans first harvest at the turn
of June/July 2023.
"We are very proud of our biological performance, especially during the cold
season. The growth and fish welfare are beyond our expectations, explained by
excellent pool conditions and colleagues that possess extensive experience and
expertise from salmon farming. We have during the past couple of weeks also
witnessed increased appetite from the salmon as ocean temperatures are
increasing," says Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon.
As of 1 May 2023, ten months after smolt release, the survival rate was 98
percent. So far in 2023, the monthly mortality rate has been 0.1 percent on
average.
The fish health and welfare remain good in the pool, which is operated with a
100 percent flow-through system.
"Independent fish health experts Åkerblå conducts fish health examinations every
month. The latest fish health report, which we received last week, is the best
so far. The fish health is excellent, which manifests itself in high growth and
an industry-leading survival rate. We look forward to conducting first harvest
and introducing our salmon to consumers soon," adds Martin Rasmussen.
Andfjord Salmon aims to conduct first harvest at the turn of June/July 2023, in
line with previous guidance.
