Eyvi joins Great Northern Salmon to develop RAS facility

Great Northern Salmon and Eyvi, a Norwegian RAS technology company, have partnered to accelerate land-based trout and salmon development in the U.S.

As part of the agreement, Eyvi will serve as Great Northern Salmon’s RAS vendor, with its owners investing in the salmon farmer. 

Eyvi is experienced in land-based aquaculture, developing Hima’s 8,000 mt trout farm in Norway, similar in size to Great Northern Salmon’s Millinocket facility under development. Eyvi has also designed and is currently building a facility for Arctic Seafarm in Norway, with a phase 1 build-out of 8,000 metric tonnes (mt). 

Great Northern Salmon, having secured key permits, is advancing site preparations to lay the foundation for its 7,500 metric tons RAS salmon facility.

“We are impressed by the experience and design thinking at Eyvi,” said Marianne Naess, CEO of Great Northern Salmon. “Equally important are the synergies we have identified from collaborating on US aquaculture development, and strategic investment from some of Eyvi’s owners into Great Northern Salmon,” she added.

“The attention to detail in harnessing the full potential of RAS salmon production and understanding the U.S. market at Great Northern Salmon has impressed us,” said Heidi Kyvik, chief business development officer of Eyvi. “We see that we have much to offer each other as we develop our regenerative production strategies for trout and salmon in the U.S. market.”
