The Cflow fish handling technology will ensure optimal animal welfare and sustainable production of Atlantic salmon. 

Cflow will manufacture all equipment, including piping, valves and pumps, at its facility in Langevåg, outside Ålesund in Norway, and manage commissioning at Salmon Evolution’s Indre Harøy facility. Design and engineering work has already started, while equipment deliveries will begin in early 2025 and continue well into 2026.

“Salmon Evolution’s second phase build-out represents the next exciting chapter in Cflow’s land-based future,” said Gunnar Hoff, chief marketing officer at Cflow.

“We have worked hard to prepare next generation’s fish welfare for land-based aquaculture. Salmon Evolution can already demonstrate highly impressive biological results, but our joint ambition is to further improve both animal welfare and their commercial results. We have turned every stone and employed our best biologists and engineers to develop a very gentle fish handling system.”

On completion of the second phase build-out, Salmon Evolution will increase its production capacity with a further 10,100 tonnes HOG, to a total planned production volume of 18,000 tonnes annually.
