Recently, the latest batch of salmon eggs introduced by Nordic Aqua (Ningbo) are stepping up hatching – some are already baby salmon!
The Northern Europe (China) Salmon RAS Land-based Farm, referred to as the aqua farm, is located in Huangwantang, Xiangshan County.
"Since March this year, we have brought in 1.05 million salmon eggs from northern Europe in three batches. The hatching rate is above 99%. At present, the first fish herd – hatched locally - have grown to an average weight of about 20 grams, and the second batch of about 0.5 grams. Another batch of salmon eggs is now hatching in RAS01 and RAS02 aquaculture tanks. The latest batch is in the incubation stage," said manager Ola Froevik, who comes from Norway. "After 24 months, each batch of salmon will grow to 5 kilograms in size, and that will be ready for sale," he added.
Small salmon are swimming in the circular pond of the recycling water aquaculture area. As Alejandro Millar, the aqua farm's health manager, begins feeding, the salmon quickly rise to the surface and scramble to their food.
At present, salmon are in a critical stage of growth. The aqua farm has arranged staff on duty 24 hours a day for equipment operation, water quality testing, and health management.
The aqua farm project is a major foreign investment project in the marine biological industry introduced by Xiangshan County. It covers an area of about 300 acres and is arranged in three phases.
The first phase has an annual capacity of more than 4,000 tons. After the completion of the three phases, an annual capacity of 20,000 tons will be in place. The aqua farm reuses more than 99% of its aquaculture water as it employs overseas professional team for operation and adopts advanced recycling aquaculture mode.
