It harvested 174,629 gwt of salmon and trout last year and expects that to increase to 181,500 gwt in Norway this year.

Harvested volumes of salmon and trout per region / aquaculture company in Q3 2023 were:

  • Lerøy Aurora (northern Norway): 16,500 gwt
  • Lerøy Midt (central Norway): 22,400 gwt
