Atlantis Subsea Farming, the joint venture between SinkabergHansen, AKVA group and Egersund Net, has harvested the 3.6 kilo salmon it released into its submerged cage in May
The structure, which includes an air dome, allowing the cage to be fully submerged, was sunk to around 30 meters for the trial, with the air dome at 22-24 meters below the surface.
Between May and July, when the fish were harvested, the salmon were monitored, revealing normal swimming and feeding behaviour and growth "about the same" as it is in regular cages, said Project Manager Trude Olafsen.
