This Norwegian Fish Farm Is Growing Fish Faster With Less Energy!

This Fish Farm Is Growing Fish Faster Than Ever Before

Lifting water is very heavy, and likewise very energy intensive. It's much easier to move the water. By doing so, one may dramatically reduce energy use. A business in Norway called Andfjord Salmon has figured out how to do that very thing. Their facility is submerged in the ground, so the pool is at the same level as the adjacent sea. This eliminates the need for water to be pumped. In fact, they do not have pumps for doing this at all – instead, they use flow boosters. Which translates to a lot of energy saved.

But better than that, this Fish Farm Is Growing Fish Faster Than Ever Before

Land-based fish farmer Andfjord Salmon has reported an “industry-leading” survival rate for the first batch of fish stocked in its flow-through system at Kvalnes on the Norwegian island of Andøya.__If there is one certain thing, it is that the fish in the pool at Kvalnes thrive. The survival rate is currently at 99.4%.

So, how come they're doing so well?
