The salmon producer recorded higher volumes in most of its farming regions, with a notable increase in Northern Norway, while Central Norway remains key following its takeover deal with Måsøval.
The proposed deal gives SalMar control of the Frøya-based salmon farmer, soon after the Witzøe family’s investment company became Måsøval’s second-largest shareholder.
The collaboration will focus on automated feeding, real-time farm intelligence and a new in-pen sealice mitigation system, the companies have announced.
While the Måsøval family considers a possible sale, Kverva, the Witzøe family's investment company, has bought 8.7% of the shares from another shareholder.
