L'Occitane-backed French salmon and trout producer AMP Saumon de France has acquired Normandy-based trout producer Pisciculture de l'Eure, the company said Thursday, another small step in the niche producer's continued expansion.
Pisciculture de l'Eure operates four salmon farms producing 800 metric tons a year, and the move lifts AMP Saumon de France's annual production to 1,200 metric tons.
In addition to market-sized trout, smolt from Pisciculture de l'Eure will supply AMP Saumon de France's sea trout farm off the Cherbourg coast and to its aquaponic farms at Asnieres, Paris and Chartres.
