Thomas Myrholt, CEO of Norwegian technology and salmon farming company Akvafuture, has high hopes for his company’s plans to expand into British Columbia, Canada, and believes the firm's closed barrier systems can help solve many issues the industry is facing.
The group unveiled plans last week to apply for licenses in BC to ultimately build three or four farms using its own closed-barrier, or closed-containment, technology.
Akvafuture has been operating for more than 10 years in Norway -- since 2016 on a commercial scale -- and will harvest around 5,000 metric tons of salmon this year.
