Geo Salmo intends to be a leader in developing the onshore salmon farming industry to future success for the benefit of the world
GeoSalmo will ensure a best of both worlds environment for our fish
The smolts will be raised in a state-of-the-art RAS facility
The smolts will grow out in a hybrid flow-through system where fresh seawater is supplied from boreholes on the facility site. The seawater is naturally filtered through lava rock and as such does not need to be treated before using it to grow out fish
This enables the fish to grow in optimal conditions with minimal handling and no necessity to use undesirable chemicals in the process
This technology is a proven method in fish farming, it limits biological risk, and ensures full control over the farming process
Our ideals
Clean energy
Geo Salmo strives to be a leading force when it comes to clean energy
Circular economy

Fish welfare
These procedures are a key factor in our ideals regarding environmental control and fish welfare, which will be at the forefront of our operations
