Harvest in Q3

Atlantic Sapphire is building its Bluehouse farm on land in the Miami area in the United States, and is projecting initial production of 10,000 tonnes of Atlantic salmon annually from the third quarter of this year.

The company has water permits in place to produce an annual 90,000 tonnes onsite and has a production target of 220,000 tonnes of salmon a year by 2031.

“Trading on the fully regulated Oslo Børs (stock exchange) supports our corporate governance standards, while providing a vast runway for continued growth,” said Atlantic Sapphire’s chief financial officer, Jose Prado.

Managing director Karl Øystein Øyehaug said the Oslo listing would enable more investors to take part in innovating salmon farming.
