Great Northern Salmon teams up with Eyvi on US developments

In a joint statement, the two companies said: “Eyvi has been working to establish a position for expansion into the US, while Great Northern Salmon has worked to strengthen its position with partners and investors with deep land-based expertise. The strategic synergies between the parties here became obvious in dialogues throughout this winter.”

Great Northern Salmon (GNS), Eyvi, and Eyvi’s owners have entered into agreements for collaboration on US development for salmon and trout, with Eyvi serving as Great Northern Salmon’s RAS vendor. Additionally, Eyvi’s owners are making a significant strategic investment in GNS.

Eyvi designed and built the successful Hima RAS facility in Norway, which is the world’s largest land-based trout farm. The Hima project is progressing well, Eyvi says, and has experienced no significant production incidents. The first commercial harvest at Hima is scheduled for this summer as planned. 

Eyvi has also designed and is currently building a facility for Arctic Seafarm in Norway, with a phase 1 build-out of 8,000 mt. Like GNS, the Eyvi team has extensive experience from numerous RAS facilities over the years, including large-scale operations.
