Salmon Evolution is pleased to announce the successful release of the first smolt into the initial tanks of Phase 2 at Indre Harøy, marking a major milestone in the company’s next stage of capacity expansion.
The smolt release represents the operational start-up of Phase 2 and a significant step in scaling production in line with Salmon Evolution’s long-term strategy.
“This is a moment we are genuinely proud of,” says CEO Trond Håkon Schaug-Pettersen. “Releasing the first smolt into Phase 2 is the result of long-term planning, disciplined execution, and a tremendous team effort across our organization and partners.”
As production volumes increase and harvest frequency becomes more consistent, the expansion will unlock new commercial opportunities across both retail and food service markets. A more predictable supply rhythm will enable closer customer partnerships and greater flexibility in meeting market demand.
Looking ahead, Salmon Evolution remains focused on executing Phase 2 safely and according to plan. The milestone reflects close collaboration across the organisation and with key partners, demonstrating the competence and commitment behind the project. Building on this momentum, the company continues to strengthen its proven operational platform at Indre Harøy.
