Arnarlax, a fully-owned subsidiary of SalMar's Icelandic Salmon, has signed purchase agreements for two smolt/post-smolt facilities, allowing for production of up to 800,000 smolts in 2022 and 1.5 million from 2023 onwards.

Following the expected license conversion to salmon smolt production, the estimated increase in total harvest volume should be about 7,000 metric tons, based on the output from the two acquired facilities.
