Salmon farming industry is at a crossroads

The challenge: How to double salmon production by 2040
Current business model running out of capacity – new investments required



Unlocking growth through technology

- Traditional sea-based farming currently produces around 3 million tonnes of Atlantic salmon globally
- Deep farming holds potential to add ~15% capacity by reducing lice and lowering mortality
- Post-smolt holds potential to add 30-35% to volumes, by improving biomass yield and reducing mortality
- Land-based grow-out beginning to gain traction, with long-term potential to 500,000 tonnes or more
- Other emerging technologies likely required for supply to keep up with demand growth
Deep farming
- Potential to unlock 15%+ higher harvesting volumes from existing licenses
- Submerged cages reduces sea lice treatments by ~85% and reduces mortality with limited additional investment
- Proven improved fish welfare supporting social license to operate and regulatory greenlight in non-green zones
- Currently applicable for close to 60% of locations
- Deep farming represents a ~NOK 6 billion market opportunity in Norway through 2030

Post-smolt
- Established as an industry growth strategy
- Shorter production cycles with reduced exposure in sea
- Fewer lice treatments, lower mortality and increased biomass yield
- Strong documentation from the Faroe Islands and the Rogaland region
- Potential to unlock 30-35% volume growth
