Måsøval reports record harvest volume in Q4.
Måsøval reported a fourth quarter harvest volume of 8,684 tonnes gutted weight (GWT), including 2,875 tonnes from commercial co-location agreements, according to its Q4 2025 results released on Thursday.
Total harvest volume for 2025 reached 28,467 GWT, the highest annual volume in the company’s history.
The company said the quarter was marked by unusually high sea temperatures and elevated sea lice pressure, but reported continued positive development in key biological indicators.
Net growth at sea increased 16 percent compared with the previous period, driven by lower mortality and improved fish welfare. The share of superior quality (SUP) fish rose to 89 percent in the quarter.
Måsøval said increased capacity in treatment and harvesting facilities strengthened operational preparedness and control during the period. Several operational initiatives implemented during 2025 were also cited as contributing to improved resilience.
“In 2025, we demonstrated strong operational control despite heavy lice pressure and elevated sea temperatures. While biological performance depends on several factors, we enter 2026 expecting that the positive trend will continue, supported by the measures we are implementing and the steadfast commitment of our competent team,” said CEO Helge Kvalvik.
Måsøval is a fully integrated producer of Atlantic salmon headquartered on Frøya in central Norway, with activities spanning smolt production, sea-based farming, harvesting, processing and global sales.
