Biomass at the Kvalnes facility approached 1,969 tonnes by August 26, 2026, following net production of 559 tonnes in Q2 2026. Post-quarter production through August 26 reached 713 tonnes, bringing the company closer to its Phase 1 target of 11,000 tonnes annual capacity by Q3 2026. Standing biomass across operational pools showed strong biological performance, with average survival rates exceeding 98% and feed conversion ratios averaging 1.016.

Pool K0, stocked with approximately 350,000 smolt in September 2025, held 1,001 tonnes of biomass with an average fish weight of 2,900 grams and a survival rate of 98.62%. Pool K1, retaining 290,000 salmon after a mid-June post-smolt sale, contained 719 tonnes with an average weight of 2,510 grams. The newest Pool K3, released in early June with 550,000 smolt, showed 248 tonnes of biomass after three months, with fish averaging 450 grams.

The company completed its first commercial post-smolt sale of approximately 450,000 fish to partner Eidsfjord Sjøfarm in mid-June, with the next delivery of 550,000 fish from Pool K3 scheduled for October. First harvests from grow-out salmon in Pool K0 are anticipated in Q3 or Q4 2026, while Pool K1 is expected to begin harvesting in Q4 2026. Additional post-smolt sales are planned for Q4 2026 as Andfjord Salmon progresses toward scaling production to 17,000 tonnes annually by H1 2027.
