If you buy trout from a Helsinki supermarket, more likely than not, it was grown from egg to plate in a recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) facility. Finnforel recently expanded its capacity to 3,000 metric tons a year, meaning two suppliers in the Scandinavian country — Finnforel and Fifax — account for almost half of global installed supply of trout grown in RAS. Here’s a fun fact, if Atlantic Sapphire converted all its tanks to trout, the fish would be a bigger species than Atlantic salmon in the RAS grow-out industry. Many of the leading producers are not close to hitting nameplate capacity. In our newest report, we provide our most accurate estimate ever of current and future production from land-based salmon facilities.
And we use modeling to predict what might happen when new big projects coming online, including:
– Nordic Aqua Partners and Proximar (in salmon)
– Hima Seafood (trout)
– Sapphire Springs (Arctic char)
The report provides a data-led overview of industry trends, covering all species, including salmon smolt facilities.
