West Coast Salmon AS, along with its US operating subsidiaries, is focused on building and operating an industrial-scale land-based Atlantic salmon farming operation outside of Reno, Nevada. The company aims to serve health and environmentally conscious consumers on the US West Coast by providing fresh and sustainably raised Atlantic salmon. The business plan includes three development phases, targeting a total production capacity of around 50,000 tons HOG (Head On Gutted) annually. The first phase is designed to deliver close to 5,000 tonnes of production capacity per annum. By situating the farming operation close to major markets, West Coast Salmon ensures a continuous local supply of high-quality, fresh salmon with a longer shelf life and a significantly reduced CO2 footprint compared to conventionally farmed salmon transported by air from Chile and Europe. The company owns significant land acreage for expansion, close to infrastructure, with associated permitted freshwater rights. West Coast Salmon leverages the expertise of PR Aqua, North America's leading technology, service, and equipment supplier of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). PR Aqua's team of highly qualified engineers and industry experts has supported land-based aquaculture businesses for over two decades by producing innovative, sustainable technologies and service solutions that are both economically practical and socially and environmentally responsible.
