Harvesting estimates 2014 (tonnes HOG)
2013: 25 200 tonnes (+ 19 % yr/yr) 1 800 tonnes lower than estimated in Q3 report – Planned harvest in December was prevented by unforeseen events
in Region North, such as storms and diesel leak at harvesting plant
– Low growth in Region South due to biological challenges
2014: 29 000 tonnes (+ 15 % yr/yr) 1 000 tonnes lower than estimated in Q3 report – Low growth and escape of fish in Region South

Outlook - Farming Recently approved 2 new sites in a new area in Western Finnmark (Hasvik) with total MAB of 7 200 tonnes
- Improved opportunities for separation of generations and further growth
- Overall MAB for all sites in Finnmark is approx. 37 000 tonnes
- Total MAB for licenses in Finnmark is 13 230 tonnes
Investing in new technologies to prevent challenges with sea lice - Both biologically and economically sustainable and the concept will be a part of our future
