Mount Cook Alpine Salmon building New Zealand's first land-based salmon farm for king, sockeye salmon

The land-based farm, which will cost €9.6 million to build, will be used to produce king and sockeye salmon.

Chief executive David Cole said the new land-based salmon farm would at least double the company's annual production to between 6000 and 8000 metric tons of fish.
