Cod farming startup receives first farming permit
The company applied for its first permit in 2021.
Norway-based cod farmer Codlife has received its first aquaculture permit and has been awarded a 3,120 metric ton biomass site at Vagsholmen, Haram municipality in western Norway.
The company has carried out extensive preliminary work and investigations at the allocated site, the company said in a press release.
"This means we are now confident that we have been allocated a location where the conditions are suitable for a good biological production of cod," the company said.
Codlife, which was founded in 2019, applied for its first permit in 2021.
Codlife's owners include Norway-based investors Karvik Invest, Bluewater and GB Value. GB Value is owned by Glenn Bradley, who is also Codlife's chairman. Bradley is predominantly known as the vice president of Norwegian wellboat shipping company Rostein.
