average weight of the salmon in its two operational pools at Kvalnes, Andøya,
has reached two kilograms and one kilogram, respectively.
The salmon in pool K0 reached the two-kilogram milestone yesterday,
approximately seven months after smolt release. Around 350,000 smolt were
released in pool K0 last autumn.
“Reaching an average weight of two kilograms per salmon in just over seven
months exceeds our expectations. Combined with a current survival rate above 99
percent, the fish seem to enjoy a stable environment in our flow-through
system,” says Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon.
Additionally, the fish in pool K1 crossed the one-kilogram threshold last week.
Approximately 750,000 smolt were released in this pool in November last year.
Part of this volume will be sold as post-smolt to Eidsfjord Sjøfarm. This pool
also maintains a survival rate above 99 percent.
“Reaching an average weight of one kilogram is an important milestone as it
makes the fish attractive for post-smolt purposes. We can now supply a very
robust fish for use in conventional farmers’ ocean net pens, while they can
increase their yearly volumes by shortening time at sea,” adds Martin Rasmussen.
On 20 April this year, Andfjord Salmon announced that it had entered into a
strategic post-smolt partnership with Eidsfjord Sjøfarm. The partnership
includes deliveries of one million post-smolt already in 2026. It also secures
Andfjord Salmon smolt sourcing and a processing agreement with Holmøy Havbruk
that secures harvest capacity when required.
