Salmon entrepreneur and Nordlaks CEO Inge Berg wants to invest in developing further salmon farming operations -- and is considering other countries if Norway stalls on allowing investments, according to Dagens Naeringsliv (DN).

Nordlaks is planning to invest NOK 5 billion (€533.3 million/$585.5 million) in the coming years into its operations, but should the company not receive new permits for farming, it will look to China, Australia and Iceland, Berg said.

"There are a few big projects in China we are very well informed about," he told DN.
