Stress-free harvesting
Harvesting salmon is a delicate process from fish pen to packaging. We carefully move pens from the farming sites to the harvesting area, where the fish gently swim into a harvesting pen. By using the harvesting pen, we can divide the fish into batches. Then, we gently but swiftly harvest one small batch at a time, securing a stress-free harvest.
We connect the transport pen to the farm pen and the salmon swims into the transport pen
We use the salmon’s natural instinct to swim against the current in the basin where it is guided through passages to stunning and bleeding
We are one of very few salmon farmers that do not use well-boats for harvesting. Our experience and tests show that our unique stress-free harvesting concept, which utilises the salmon’s natural instinct to swim against the current, has an important effect on the quality of our salmon products. It gives a better taste and a longer shelf life.
