Icelandic salmon producer Arctic Fish, which is partly owned by Norway Royal Salmon (NRS), is targeting a production increase to 10,000 metric tons in Dyrafjordur, one of the country's Westfjords, reports Morgunbladid.

Last year, the company received operating licenses for 4,200 metric tons in Dyrafjordur, up from the previous license of 2,100 metric tons.

The company has now applied for licenses to increase production by another 5,800 metric tons.
