Gigante Salmon announces completion of second pool
Gigante Salmon, which is building a flow-through fish farm on a small island in Norway, has completed the second of three production pools, it said today.
The company intends to produce 16,000 gutted weight tonnes of salmon annually by 2028 in 10 separate raceways divided between three pools excavated into the bedrock of Lille Indre Rosøy.
One pool containing three raceways is already in use, and Gigante Salmon expects a harvest of 550 gutted weight tonnes of salmon from it in the second quarter of 2025.
A second stocking of smolts in another of the completed pool’s raceways was made in the third quarter of 2024. Harvesting of these fish will start in Q4 2025.
