Oslo-listed, land-based salmon farmer Atlantic Sapphire began harvests at its Denmark facilities last week after reporting solid biological performance across the different stages of the farming process.
Since the release of smolts for grow-out on Jan. 12, mortality has remained at under 2 percent while feed the conversion ratio outperformed forecasts, Johan Andreassen, CEO of Atlantic Sapphire, told those gathered at the IntraFishInvestor Forum in London last week.
Other biological performance indicators, such as early maturation, also showed the expected results, Andreassen said.
