COLUMBI SALMON INITIATES RESEARCH PROJECT TO MAKE SALMON FARMING CARBON NEUTRAL
(Åfjord, Norway) Columbi Salmon has partnered with Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO), Morefish and Biomar on a research project aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of salmon farming in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).


Our process




Primary processing
When the fish reaches its target weight (4-5 kilos), it is transferred to the primary processing plant, which is situated next to the largest grow out tanks. The fish is slaughtered, and gutted salmon, including the head, is packed in ice-filled boxes and transported to consumers.

Recycled production
The fresh water from the fingerling/smolt phase is normally taken out and cleaned for particles and nutrients. In our system, some of this water will instead be transferred to a large greenhouse (aquaponic) which has the capacity of growing up to 4,000 tonnes of salad annually, without using a single gramme of soil.
