Utvider smoltproduksjon med 13.000 m³

Bakkafrost has entered into a contract with Nofitech to expand the Glyvradal smolt hatchery by 13,000 cubic meters as part of its long-term investment plan aimed at increasing annual production capacity. Following completion, the hatchery’s smolt production is expected to reach 4 million smolt per year, supporting the company’s strategic focus on land-based salmon farming.

Landbasert oppdrett reduserer sjøperiode

The expansion aligns with Bakkafrost's strategy to farm salmon for longer periods on land, targeting an average smolt size of 500 grams. This approach is intended to reduce the sea farming period to 12 months by 2022, thereby minimizing biological risk and enhancing sustainability in salmon farming practices.

Totalt 30.000 m³ økning i kapasitet

This project is part of a broader initiative where Bakkafrost is simultaneously expanding smolt hatcheries at Viðareiði and Norðtoftir. Collectively, the three expansions will increase the total smolt hatchery capacity by 30,000 cubic meters, significantly boosting production capabilities and advancing industry development towards sustainable and superior quality salmon farming.
