Once pooh-poohed, land-based salmon farming is emerging as one of today’s hottest aquaculture trends.
In a recent report, Norwegian bank DnB estimated that production costs for land-based farmed salmon could soon average NOK 37 (€4.10/$4.40)/kilo as volumes increase. Current conventional farmed salmon production in Norway is estimated at around NOK 36 (€4/$4.30)/kilo.
"Our findings show that technology has progressed further than generally believed, and that setting up a full-scale land-based business can -- under certain conditions -- provide acceptable returns," the report said.
Akva Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of recirculating aquaculture systems for farmed salmon, and its CEO Hallvard Muri, will present the latest update on land-based aquaculture at the May 23 Intrafish Seafood Investor Forum in New York City.
