Icelandic salmon farmer Arctic Fish has moved a step closer with its application to increase biomass with two new sites in Isfjardardjup in the Westfjords of Iceland.
On Monday, the Mowi-owned group said the Iceland Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST) and the Environment Agency of Iceland (Umhverfisstofnun) had both put out for public comment the proposal of new farming licenses for Arctic Sea Farm -- a 100 percent owned subsidiary of Arctic Fish -- for 8,000 metric tons of maximum allowable biomass (MAB).
