The dedicated seafood investment fund Holberg Triton was only launched in February 2015 with funds from private investors of around NOK 100 million (€10.5 million/$12 million), but this figure has already grown to NOK 600 million (€62.9 million/$71.9 million) as investors see the potential in the sector, Hogne Tyssoy portfolio manager told IntraFish.

The unique seafood sector-focused global fund initially comprised of 28 listed companies around the globe, but today this number has reduced to 26 companies.

The two companies no longer in the fund include Havfisk – which was incorporated into Leroy – and a small holding in Japanese company Ichimasa Kamaboko, “which delivered disappointing results," said Tyssoy.
