The beauty of high quality smolt
BioFish is a Norwegian independent producer of high-quality smolt and post-smolt. The company has a post-smolt production facility based on recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology, located on the west coast of Norway.
The site is ideal for producing robust and healthy smolt. Our approach to ensuring robust and healthy smolt is based on three main elements:
BioFish uses both fresh water and sea water in the production of smolt to better prepare the smolt for seawater environment.
The temperatures that we use in the early phase reflect the environment of wild salmon.
We are not using pumps to deliver our smolt to the wellboat. Gravity helps us, which reduces stress on our smolt during a vulnerable phase.
BioFish is a strategically located RAS facility in Ljones, Western Norway
Our location in an area (PO 3) in Norway with high farming density imply shorter transportation which is beneficial for fish health and logistics. The combination of high farming density and relatively warm water increases the importance of production of robust smolt. We are focused on maintaining strong biological performance and scaling production in 2024 and 2025.
