World’s largest indoor salmon hatchery
The world’s largest indoor salmon aquaculture facility will be built in Newfoundland, Canada, for Norwegian company Grieg NL.
The facility will produce 7 million smolt ranging up to 1500 g. Grieg NL will stock 11 sea-cage sites for the subsequent grow out and harvest of 33,000 tons of Atlantic salmon per year.
AMG Norway, a subsidiary of the Aqua Maof Group, will build the facility, which will deploy Aqua Maof's RAS (recirculating aquaculture system) technology. The overall project investment is estimated at C$200m.
Construction of the hatchery will be completed in 2017, with construction of the grow-out sites also set to begin in 2017. The companies expect the facility's annual production to reach 33,000 tons by 2023, more than double Newfoundland and Labrador's current production of Atlantic salmon.
