Norwegian land-based salmon farmer Salmon Evolution hired long-time investment fund manager Hakon Andre Berg as CFO.

Berg has previous experience in the sector as a board member of Pharma Marine and Pure Norwegian Salmon.

He was also a partner in private equity firm Broodstock Capital.

Salmon Evolution bought a property in March at Indre Harøy in Fræna, Norway, to build a recirculated aquaculture system (RAS) salmon farm.

It is licensed to produce 28,800 metric tons of ready-to-eat salmon per year.
