Gigante Salmon: Production update

Gigante Salmon: Production update

Bodø, Norway, 25 January 2024

Gigante Salmon this week released 640,000 smolt distributed in two deliveries. The company announced 23 January a significant mortality in the second delivery, and the extent is now clear.

20,000 dead fish have been registered, mainly related to the second delivery. The fish was dead on arrival to the facility, and the cause is being mapped by our fish health service partner.

The overall mortality after first release is approx. 3 %, while the second of the two deliveries had a mortality of approx. 6 %.

The situation is under control, and the Rødøy facility is working as planned.

- All mortality, regardless of the number, is undesirable. Our job is to ensure the fish has a good life, and it feels good to report that the situation we experienced after the second delivery is now clarified and under control, says CEO Helge E. W. Albertsen.
