Blåfjell is a pioneer in land-based arctic char farming. The Norwegian company has established a full-scale RAS facility for environmentally friendly fish farming in Lierne. The plant is designed to produce large quantities of fish with relatively low water consumption, and where more than 99 per cent of the body of water is reused.
The main market for Blåfjell is the European restaurant market, and sales are increasing. The company has a licence for 975 tonnes MTB, which allows for current production to be increased tenfold, to 3,800 tonnes per year. The signal from the market indicates that demand will outstrip the capacity of today’s facilities, and Blåfjell therefore has a plan for expansion through several stages of construction.
