Marine Harvest has dropped its plan involving hundreds of millions of Norwegian kroner (NOK) in investment and production of 50,000 metric tons salmon.
In December 2011 FiskeribladetFiskaren reported on Marine Harvest's gigantic plans at Askoy near Bergen.
The plan was to build a plant at Mjolkevikvarden that could produce 50,000 metric tons of salmon annually; at that time equal to five percent of all salmon production in Norway.
Marine Harvest entered into an agreement with the mining company Norstone, which wished to further develop the site for practical purposes after the mining quarry had ceased operation.
