Grant of two new salmon broodstock licenses in Norway
Strengthens genetics capabilities and improves security of
supply of our customers
Benchmark Holdings, the aquaculture biotechnology company, is
pleased to announce that it has been granted two new salmon
broodstock licenses by the Directory of Fisheries in Norway. The
two licenses which total 780 tons, include a 320 tons license for
sea production and a second license for on land production of up to
460 tons, more than doubling the volume of our current
licenses.
This represents an important milestone for Benchmark enhancing
our capabilities and the security of supply for our customers. The
additional broodstock capacity enlarges the selection pool in our
genetics programme, reduces operational risk by having broodstock
volume at different sites and supports future potential expansion
of our production of ova in Salten.
Trond Williksen commented:
"Benchmark's genetics operations are core to our ability to
supply highly bio-secure salmon eggs to salmon producers year
round. The grant of the new licenses is a reflection of Benchmark's
leading position in the industry, track record and quality of our
operations.
The two new licenses enable us to further increase security of
supply of bio-secure, high quality eggs with high performing
genetic traits for our customers supporting our mission to drive
sustainability in aquaculture."
