Andfjord Salmon AS announced the successful completion of its inaugural harvest of Atlantic salmon from the company's first pool located at Kvalnes, Andya. The harvest has yielded strong results with an industry leading survival rate of 97.5% and superior share of 91.1%. The total biomass of Atlantic salmon reached 646.000 tonnes translating to approximately 530 metric tonnes HOG (Head-On-Gutted), with an average weight of approximately 3.4 kilograms per fish.

An exit-count in conjunction with transfer of fish from the pool shows that approximately 193,000 salmon was released in the pool one year ago. The harvested fish displayed a diverse range of weights, from 1-2 kg up to 5-6 kg. Of particular note, approximately 50% of the fish fell into the 2-3 kg category, achieving an average price of approximately NOK 67 /kg.

Additionally, around 40% of the fish weighed between 3-4 kg, realizing an average price of approximately NOK 80 /kg. The new production capacity will gradually be added between 2025 and 2030, with 8,000 tonnes (HOG) of production capacity expected to be added as early as 2025.
