The fish farming division of Icelandic fishing giant Samherji has made two new appointments at its operations in Sandgerdi, Iceland.
Halldor Petur Asbjornsson has been hired as operations manager. Prior to joining Samherji, Asbjornsson was project manager at Brim's fish processing facility in Reykjavik for 10 years.
In addition, Sunneva Osk Thoroddsdottir has been hired as quality manager.
In June, Samherji announced it reached a deal with Icelandic geothermal power plant owner and operator HS Orka to develop a $370 million land-based salmon farming operation that would be one of the world's largest.
