Salmon farming industry news: companies, technology and people
Industry is where the salmon business gets built. This is our coverage of the companies that grow, process and sell the fish: Mowi, SalMar, Lerøy, Bakkafrost, Grieg Seafood, Måsøval and the fast-growing land-based names, and of the operational decisions, deals and appointments that shape how the sector runs. If a producer raises its harvest guidance, a robotics firm changes hands, or a new CEO takes over a land-based ambition, you will find it here first.
Operations and technology
Salmon farming is an engineering problem as much as a biological one. We follow the technology reshaping production: recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and the land-based projects betting on them, offshore and semi-closed pens, ROVs and aquaculture robotics, genetics and smolt strategy, and the fish-health work that keeps sea lice and mortality in check. New RAS facilities, hatchery expansions and smolt-site investments are all Industry stories with real cost and biomass consequences.
M&A and corporate moves
Consolidation never really stops in this sector. We report the majority-stake acquisitions, joint ventures, capital raises and restructurings that redraw the competitive map: who is buying capacity, who is selling technology, and what a deal means for the acquirer's cost base and growth runway.
People and appointments
The industry runs on the people who lead it. We track the CEO changes, board appointments, technical and commercial hires and the moves between producers, suppliers and service firms, the signals that often tell you where a company is heading before its strategy is public.
