Overview of current seawater facilities Comments

Quarterly harvest figures

Active sea site ▪ Arnarlax currently has 10 farming locations in three separate fjords.

▪ By allowing each farming site to fallow for a few months after each generation has been fully harvested, every new farming cycle starts its growth in a clear and naturally replenished sites– This technique reduces risk of biological hazards such as diseases and pests

▪ Total current production capacity of 22,200 tonnes GWT p.a.– 6 locations in Arnarfjörður with a production capacity of 11,500 tonnes GWT p.a.

– 2 locations in both Patreksfjörður and Tálknafjörður with a combined production capacity of 10,700 tonnes GWT p.a.

▪ Only one other salmon farming company with concessions in the West Fjords (Arctic Fish), enabling high biological control

▪ West Fjords have low temperatures from November to March/April and medium temperatures during summer until fall

▪ Lower seawater temperatures compared to Finnmark from January to early summer, and higher temperatures for the rest of the year

▪ Iceland provide beneficial conditions – compensated growth in the summer time

▪ Decreasing production costs and increasing profitability for Northern Norway in line with increasing production volumes

▪ Iceland has similar farming conditions as Finnmark, illustrating the cost and profitability potential
