Icelandic community and collaboration with Chris Malanka and Óskar Jósúason from Laxey

Laxey’s freshwater manager, Chris Malanka, manages four RAS facilities, focusing on fish health, production planning, and water quality. This RAS project in Iceland’s Westman Islands aims to produce four million smolts annually, with a gradual startup plan. Public relations manager, Óskar Jósúason, also tells the story of how a local male choir’s visit to the newly built growout tanks represents the company’s emphasis on collaboration and community-building.
