Sustainable innovation in aquaculture

Salmon Evolution^® is a Norwegian salmon farming company that completed the first of three building phases of one of Europe’s largest salmon farm in 2023. Located in Indre Harøy along the western coast of mainland Norway, this salmon farm stretches across a total area of 18,500 m² and features water tanks with a total capacity of 59,000 m³. Salmon Evolution sets a new benchmark in salmon farming since its operations focus on the wellbeing of the fish while minimizing the farm’s environmental impact. This sustainable salmon farm is a pioneering project in Europe.

Sustainable fish farming to the highest standards
With its enormous construction project, this Norwegian company is changing the future of salmon farming. Being perfectly situated with direct access to fresh seawater means that the company can combine natural maritime conditions with the technological and environmental advantages of land-based farming. Water quality is monitored continuously thanks to the hybrid flow system, which minimizes the risk of contamination and avoids the use of antibiotics entirely. Unlike maritime aquaculture operations, this facility does not pollute the sea. Not only does Salmon Evolution use renewable energies, but it also utilizes the waste produced by the fish farm to produce biogas and fertilizer.

After the end of the first construction phase in 2023 and once the facility is fully operational, it will produce 8,000 tons of salmon per year. By 2028, the farm will be fully equipped and produce more than 31,000 tons of salmon per year.

SFS presented Salmon Evolution with a perfect, easily installed fall protection system that would guarantee occupational safety under all weather conditions. SFS’s Soter^® II horizontal fall protection system secures the employees and ensures their safety when working under very challenging conditions. The certified system with high-load posts and a patented, energy-absorbing coil reduces the forces that arise during a free fall to protect both the people and the roof structure – even in an extreme scenario involving a fall. The system is designed to pass unimpeded over all brackets and corners, meaning that users can move freely without any need to disconnect themselves from the system.
