Grieg Seafood Newfoundland is now just months away from transferring its first fish to sea in Placentia Bay from its smolt facility in Atlantic Canada, six months after experiencing a setback at the site.

"We are very pleased with the performance of the facility and are really excited to see first fish to sea," Perry Power, human resources manager with Grieg NL, told IntraFish. "It's very exciting time for us all here at Grieg Seafood Newfoundland."
