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 carefully tow the transport pen to shore and connect it to the harvest pen. Salmon swim freely into the harvest pen and are moved in batches into the harvesting station
We use the salmon’s natural instinct to swim against the current, creating an artificial river that gently guides the fish through the stunning and bleeding process
We connect the transport pen to the farm pen and the salmon swim into the transport pen
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.
