Seawater Systems
After spending a year in freshwater, Atlantic salmon naturally swim out to sea to feed and grow. Aquaculture replicates this process by transferring salmon from the hatchery to specially designed and engineered sea cages in the ocean.
Salmon at the sea farms are continuously monitored with underwater cameras by trained Mowi personnel to enable efficient feeding processes, detect potential escapees, and to ensure appropriate fish health management practices are used.
After less than two years at sea, the salmon are harvested and transferred to fish processing facilities where they are prepared for markets in Newfoundland and Labrador and around the world.
