Aquaculture:
- Norwegian ocean-farmed salmon are raised in pens in the cold, clear waters of Norway.
- To prevent overcrowding and ensure sufficient swimming space, ocean net pens contain 2.5% fish to 97.5% water. Salmon are given the time, space and opportunity to fully mature.
- Combining hard-earned experience and advanced technology, the industry is able to monitor and promote healthy fish growth and food safety at every step
- Norway’s seafood industry pioneered the development of responsible ocean salmon farming in the early 1970s.
- Salmon aquaculture is among the most resource-efficient methods of food production, as salmon are more than twice as efficient as pork and chicken at converting feed to energy and ultimately meat for human consumption
- Today, Norway’s aquaculture industry ranks among the world’s leading programs
