  • Production conditions good with well functioning RAS and stability in systems
  • Expansion of smolt production started and on track, expected to end in Q1 2023

Sea Farming

  • Growth as expected with good FCR and good survival rates
  • Biomass in sea increased compared to previous years
  • Harvesting targets on track for next years estimations
  • Already harvested more tonnes (8,524) during the first three quarters compared with the full year 2020

sustainability profile

A robust and strong A robust and strong sustainability profile

ESG focus

  • All sites ASC certified
  • Reducing CO2 emissions with:
  • Prioritizing green energy use in land farming and sea farming
  • Hybrid barges
  • CO2 awareness in purchasing
  • Low medicine use and alternative treatment
  • Constant feeding monitoring focussing on efficiency and sustainability
  • Active social involvement and social awareness

First of its kind hi-tech smolt facility with 100% green energy

No antibiotics has ever been used on Arctic Fish sites

Arctic Fish strives to use non-medical methods to battle sea and fish lice

  • Area based management: Strategically placed sites with alternating production cycles between fjords
  • Lumpfish: By eating sea lice parasites off the salmon, high quality Icelandic lumpfish is an effective, preventive method
  • Environmental monitoring: Benthic monitoring and parasiticide residue levels is carried out

Attractive licenses and Licenses enabling growth and production potential

II

New 4,000 tonnes (MAB) license in Arnarfjörður already advertised, a new license in a fjord and at a site that has not operated before. The licenses are expected to be issued and granted in Q4 2021.

Arctic Fish has pending applications in the final stages for additional 4.8kt MAB in Ísafjarðardjúp.

It is expected that the current existing MAB for trout farming up to 5.3 thousand tonnes will be converted to salmon in the same process.

Licenses and applications are well positioned for future growth with locations in different fjords
