Atlantis Subsea Farming has for the first time deployed fish in its submersible pen. Now, the project is excitedly following the life of the fish in the deep. In March last year the company was awarded a development license. Project Manager Trude Olafsen said: 'One year after being awarded the development license, the first fish are in the system, and we're quite happy with that.'
'We have had our challenges, and what we are trying to achieve is not easy. But this is exactly why we need the development license. It gives us the opportunity to test the technology on actual biomass for three generations – and we are grateful for that,' she continues.
The first version of the submersible pen is now product-certified, and the project is now entering a phase of where the behavior and well-being of the fish will be closely monitored.
At the same time operational staff at Sinkaberg Hansen, AKVA group and the service company Nærøysund Aquaservice, which also played a part in the development work, are acquiring valuable experience on deep operations.
