Healthy and appetizing salmon

“EcoSalmon” is the trademark of our unique farmed salmon. Our farming methods use innovative technology and are fully sustainable and environmentally-friendly, ensuring high fish welfare standards. Our salmon are kept in healthy water conditions throughout their lives, enabling us to improve muscle structure and maintain premium quality standards.

Documented results show that continuous current throughflow in closed cages promotes high levels of fitness and condition among our salmon. The water is taken from the deep sea, and is free of salmon lice.

This gives the salmon a bright and healthy appearance, maintains optimal fat and protein levels, and promotes high quality standards.

Our aim is to deliver the best and healthiest farmed salmon on the market.

Unique production method

Our patented technology and solutions enable us to control the salmon production process in sea. Energy consumption is based entirely on renewable Norwegian hydropower. Our unique technology ensures that:

  • the salmon live in clean, deep sea water that is free of salmon lice
  • circulation within the closed cages maintains the health of the salmon and keeps them in motion at all times
  • sedimentable waste deposits are collected and recycled for use in other renewable products
  • the risk of fish escapes is reduced due to the introduction of a double protection system
  • the fish are subjected to minimum handling, which promotes high levels of growth, well-being and fish welfare
  • Our aim is to produce the world’s most environmentally-friendly and sustainable marine farmed salmon so far

Sustainability

We focus on the environment and sustainability throughout the production cycle.

Only renewable energy sources are used in our production processes. Our system includes a double security technology, which significantly reduces the risk of fish escapes.

The salmon are produced free of exposure to salmon lice, and sedimentable waste deposits are used in new and green value chains. In our opinion – the most environmentally-friendly and sustainable marine salmon farming method in the world.

Waste recycling

We have good control of the water properties within the closed cages, and sedimentable waste deposits are taken care of during the production.

Potential feed waste and salmon excrement (feces) are collected and recycled to produce biogas, fertilizers, and other renewable products. In this way, we contribute to a circular food system with reuse and sustainability at its core.

Exploring Opportunities in Canada

Akvafuture is taking the first step in expanding to Canada by applying for a salmon farming tenure in British Columbia. We chose Canada for its strong aquaculture regulations that align with our commitment to sustainability and closed-containment technology.

With Canada transitioning to more eco-friendly salmon farming, we see an opportunity to contribute to responsible aquaculture practices. Our goal is to collaborate with local stakeholders to ensure sustainable and ethical operations.

We look forward to bringing Akvafuture’s innovative solutions to Canada—stay tuned for updates!

Company structure

Akvafuture is based in Brønnøysund in northern Norway. We operate fish farms at three locations in Vevelstad and Brønnøy municipalities. We also manufactures our unique, patented, closed marine cages and other technologies, and provides maintenance and servicing for these.
