BIOFISH HOLDING AS: Capacity expansion plan is completed
Following the new equity raising of NOK74.5m in the first quarter 2023, BioFish
is delighted to announce a vital phase of the production capacity expansion plan
is completed.
The main items installed and in use are:
-a new RAS facility
-a new sea-water outlet pipe
-a novel automatic water surveillance system
-a new grading system
-tank based video surveillance system
The above announcement is an important leap in Biofish's plan to utilize the
aquaculture license gradually fully for production of up to 5 million smolt and
the discharge license up to 2,200 tons. The new facilities are already in use
with various sized fish in the tanks from September/ October 2023.
This is to build up biomass for future planned deliveries. The cost of the above
works is broadly as stated during the new equity raising process in the first
quarter. The remaining proceeds are used to strengthen the working capital,
general maintenance purposes and building biomass.
