Norwegian cod farmer Norcod said Wednesday it has been granted permission to establish a new production site in Nesna municipality, Norway, with a total maximum allowed biomass (MAB) of 3,599 metric tons.

Bjornvika will be the company's second location in Nesna and, together with Labukta, forms a production cluster with a total capacity of 7,200 metric tons MAB.

“We consider this second site in Nesna also to be perfectly suited for cod farming with good water depth, water temperature and currents,” said Norcod CEO Christian Riber.
