SalMar's Q3 harvest volume increased by 12.8% year on year
Salmon heavyweight produced more than 100,000 gutted weight tonnes of fish
The world’s second biggest Atlantic salmon farmer, SalMar, harvested 99,900 gutted weight tonnes of fish in Norway in the third quarter of this year, and a further 5,200 gwt in Iceland, for a total of 105,100 gwt.
That’s an increase of 11,900 gwt (12.8%) compared to the 93,200 gwt harvested in the same period last year.
The volumes by region in Q3 2026 were:
Farming Central Norway: 51,400 gwt (Q3 2025: 47,000 gwt)
Farming Northern Norway: 48,500 gwt (42,500 gwt)
SalMar Ocean: 0 (0)
Icelandic Salmon: 5,200 gwt (3,800 gwt)
Total: 105,100gwt (93,200 gwt)
SalMar said harvest volumes in Central Norway were affected towards the end of the quarter by harvesting due to infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) and fish welfare considerations, which impacted cost development during the period.
The harvest volume doesn’t include SalMar’s share of fish produced by Scottish Sea Farms, which SalMar owns 50-50 with Lerøy Seafood Group.
SalMar’s full Q3 2026 report will be released on Tuesday, November 3.
