Henrik Fang Luo has left his position as growout manager at Norwegian land-based farmer Salmon Evolution to take a job with China's largest trout farmer.
Fang Luo, who spent four and a half years with feed company BioMar in China before joining Salmon Evolution, is now deputy general manager at Longyangxia Ecological Aquaculture.
"For me who grew up in China, working by the upper reaches of the Yellow River means tremendous privilege and responsibility," Fang Luo said of his new role.
"I look forward to working with my new colleagues, and I am excited about my physical proximity to fantastic nature and culture both on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and by West Lake," he said, adding he would always be "cheering on" the Salmon Evolution team.
Longyangxia was established in 2008, but since 2012 has been actively transforming its production for a greener future.
With a license for 20,000 metric tons of trout production in the waters of Long Yang Xia Lake in Qinghai province in northwestern China, the producer is choosing to farm just half its capacity until it is capable of sustainably producing the remainder.
Before his role at BioMar, Fang Luo was with aquaculture services company Morenot in Norway for four and a half years.
