Mowi Fjæra Post-Smolt RAS Facility Expansion - følg statusen

Nytt post-smolt anlegg levert

Nofitech has delivered a new post-smolt recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facility to Mowi at their Fjæra salmon farming site, located at the innermost part of Åkrafjorden in Etne municipality. This project expands the salmon farming operation with two new post-smolt halls, a service building, and a sludge treatment building, increasing the total facility area by 13,700 square meters. The post-smolt halls each contain four tanks, with each tank holding 2,400 cubic meters of water, aimed at producing salmon smolts weighing 700 grams four times annually.

Modulær bygging med lokal støtte

The project emphasizes a modular, compact design that reduces the facility’s footprint and environmental impact, a key reason Nofitech was chosen to supply the RAS system. Construction was completed in under two years and the facility has been operational since August. The work involved extensive local collaboration with companies from Etne, Vindafjord, and neighboring areas, including Høyer Odda for the service and sludge buildings, Ølen Betong, and Vassbakk & Stol, highlighting strong regional industry participation.

Størst konsesjon og effektiv drift

Mowi now holds an annual concession of 4,600 tons at Fjæra, making it the largest salmon farming operation in Norway’s southern region. Operational strategies focus on optimizing logistics, feeding, and smoltification parameters to ensure fish health and growth efficiency. The new post-smolt facility supports these goals by improving environmental control through the advanced RAS technology, contributing to sustainable aquaculture production.
