Salmon

Salmon farming have developed rapidly in Norway since the breakthrough in the mid-1970s. As a coastal trade and export industry, the salmon industry has had an enormous influence on where people live and the economy in Norway.

In recent years, the industry has provided almost 40 % of the total exports of Norwegian fish products. Nergård startet its salmon production in 1989, and have a total of 13 farming licenses today.
