Norwegian land-based salmon farmer Salfjord has been awarded the necessary permits to produce salmon on land, paving the way for it to build its NOK 7.5 billion (€636.9 million/$695.2 million) facility.
More og Romsdal county council in western Norway authorized Salfjord to farm salmon on land in a flow-through site at the Tjeldbergodden industrial park in the Nordmore region.
Hybrid flow-through technology cycles seawater through on-land tanks, as opposed to traditional recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) land-based operations, which are fully contained.
