ABOUT

About Salmon Evolution

Salmon Evolution is a Norwegian land-based salmon farming company focused on extending the ocean's potential by transferring the best preconditions offered by the sea to farm fish on land through its chosen hybrid flow-through system technology (HFS).

The entire project is designed for an annual capacity of approx. 31,500 tonnes HOG.
