When it comes to fish, Norway really is without equal. Around 7% of Norway’s area is made up of water, comprising of thousands of fjords, and a rugged coastline stretching for over 21,000 kilometres – ideal conditions for abundant fish breeding. The Norwegian aquaculture industry is responsible for some of the finest salmon, rainbow trout, cod and halibut in the world. Furthermore, there is a myriad of shellfish aquaculture, including oysters, mussels – over 5,000 tonnes of them – scallops, lobsters, king crabs and sea urchins. This is a haven for fish and for fish farming, and it is little surprise that the world’s biggest, most productive and innovative aquaculture companies are to be found here.
