1.11.2022 08:00:01 CET | Andfjord Salmon | Non-regulatory press releases

Andfjord Salmon AS is pleased to confirm that due to strong biological
performance the average weight of the salmon in Andfjord Salmon's first pool at
Andøya, Norway, this week reached 1 kilogram - well ahead of the late December
2022 forecast. This could result in the harvest date being brought forward. The
survival rate stands at industry leading 98.9 percent, four months after the
smolt was released.

"We are very pleased to see that we have been able to provide our salmon with
excellent biological conditions. As a result, the growth rate is higher than
what we estimated. This confirms that the living conditions in the pool are
good, which means that the fish eats well and thereby grows fast. The excellent
survival rate also confirms high fish welfare in the pool`s ecosystem," says
Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon. 

On 25 June 2022, Andfjord Salmon released approximately 200,000 smolt at an
average weight of 120 grams in the company's first land-based pool at Kvalnes,
Andøya. 

"Reaching the 1-kilogram milestone confirms the benefits of Andfjord Salmon's
fish farming concept, where excellent biological conditions in combination with
low energy cost underline the robustness of our business case. The energy-use is
also well within our target 1 kwh/kg salmon produced," adds Rasmussen. 

Andfjord Salmon is using water from depths of approximately 40 meters below the
sea surface for its flow-through technology solution. The water is substituted
15-17 times/24 hours. The company`s pools are square shaped with the intention
of replicating a cross section of the Gulfstream. At slaughter weight the
density will be around 35-40 kg/m3.
