Oslo-listed land-based salmon farmer Atlantic Sapphire announced Thursday it would stock 800,000 eggs into its Florida-based hatchery in the United States by the end of November.
The plan followed a successful 90-day onsite hatchery trial in the company's Florida facility that validated the operation's water quality and local conditions. It also plans for steady production for the third quarter of 2020 at this facility. The site will ultimately house six independent growout systems.
Atlantic Sapphire moved its first fish into new growout tanks in October at its Denmark facility, and stated controlled growth and strong biological performance is driving biomass gain for salmon there.
