More capacity, bigger for Faroese company

摘要

The Faroese company Bakkafrost, based in the remote North Atlantic islands, is working to expand the smolt capacity of its hatcheries on the islands, by adding to several of its six freshwater facilities. Leif av Reyni, the freshwater manager in charge of the project, told this publication that the objective is to eventually have all of its Atlantic salmon smolts going out to net-pens at more than double their present size.av Reyni said the company doesn't intend so much to increase the number of fish as to provide them with enhanced potential when they are eventually put into ocean pens for growout.
