Faroe Islands salmon farmer Bakkafrost is expanding its recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) Glyvradal smolt hatchery as part of its strategy to farm salmon longer on land.
Norway's Nofitech was tasked with expanding the smolt hatchery by 13,000 cubic meters, increasing capacity to 4 million smolt once completed.
Bakkafrost aims to reduce the farming period at sea to 12 months by 2022, by reaching an average smolt size of 500 grams.
