SalMar Group subsidiary Ocean Farming AS is currently building "Ocean Farm 1 -- the world’s first offshore fish farm."
The company was allocated a site at Frohavet, off the coast of central Norway, for this project.
"The installation is currently under construction in China, and will be positioned in Frohavet, off the Trøndelag coast, in the second half of 2017," SalMar said. "Ocean Farm 1 is a full-scale pilot facility, where many aspects of offshore fish farming will be tested out."
The new facility will be based on Norwegian aquaculture and offshore technology sectors.
