The aquaculture breeder has built a large land-based hatchery for salmon smolt in Vestland. The facility is close to 5 acres in size and the pool capacity is more than 20,000 cubic metres.

At the facility, there are RAS (recirculating aquaculture systems) facilities for starter feeding, rearing, press smolt, smolt and post smolt. More than 10 million or 1,000 tonnes of smolt are to be produced a year.
