SalMar's harvest volume leaped by 37% in Q2
The world’s second largest Atlantic salmon farmer, SalMar, harvested 81,800 gutted weight tonnes in Norway and Iceland in the second quarter of this year, it said in a trading update.
That harvest volume is a 37% increase compared to the same period last year, when SalMar harvested 59,700 gwt.
SalMar’s Q2 2026 harvest volumes were:
Farming Central Norway: 38,900 gwt (Q2 2025: 33,900 gwt)
Farming Northern Norway: 32.6 gwt (20,600 gwt)
SalMar Ocean: 4.8 gwt (1,200 gwt)
Icelandic Salmon: 5.5 gwt (4,000 gwt)
Total: 81,800 gwt
The harvest volume doesn’t include SalMar’s half share of the fish harvested in Q2 by Scottish Sea Farms, which is owned 50-50 by SalMar and Lerøy Seafood Group. SSF’s harvest volume will be included in the companies’ quarterly reports.
SalMar’s full Q2 report will be published on Tuesday, August 25.
