The Aquatraz pens have arrived in Norway
Published
Lerøy has received its closed Aquatraz C2 units in Norway. The pens are now on their way to completion at CCB in Øygarden, outside Bergen. The Aquatraz pens are closed facilities for farming salmon at sea. This means the fish are inside a closed structure, and not in an open net.
Lerøy is one of the largest salmon farming companies in Norway. The company uses the technology to keep the fish separated from the surrounding sea. With closed facilities, farmers can, among other things, reduce the risk of sea lice and escapes. These are important topics in the debate about aquaculture in Norway.
The new units are now in Norway, and work to make them ready for use is underway. CCB in Øygarden is responsible for the completion. Kyst.no does not write when the pens will be placed in the sea, or where they will be located.
Closed pen technology is becoming increasingly common in the Norwegian aquaculture industry. Many companies are now examining whether such facilities can be used instead of traditional open pens. The development is likely to continue in the years to come.
