The company’s Q1 report, which has been published today, notes that the fish showed positive development throughout the quarter, and reached a standing biomass of 1,070 tonnes, at the end of the period.
The facility construction is in the final phase, with two out of three production basins completed, on track for the planned ramp-up to full annual capacity of approximately 16,000 tonnes by 2028.
The company reports that it has initiated harvesting from the trial production, expecting a total volume of approximately 550 tonnes.
"Completing another production basin is a milestone, but even more gratifying is the fact that we have now delivered the first salmon grown in our facility," said CEO, Kjell Lorentsen, in a press release.
The company also achieved GlobalGAP certification in the quarter.
