A Big Milestone For First Water

Today, we transferred fish into one of our brand-new 3,700 m³ grow-out tanks — a major step forward in our journey to scale sustainable land-based salmon farming. This is the first of eight tanks in our initial production line, with the remaining tanks nearing completion and set to come online in the coming months. These systems — including the tanks and the surrounding infrastructure — have been largely developed in-house, based on over three years of insights from our pilot facility. That experience has guided every decision: what works, what needs refining, and what we leave behind. With these eight tanks, we’ll triple our current production capacity and accommodate significantly larger fish than we’ve raised in the pilot phase. Construction is already underway for the next series of tanks: eight units at 5,500 m³ each. When those are completed, we’ll reach the end of Phase 1 — of 6. Today marks a big achievement, but we’re just getting started. The road ahead is ambitious, and we couldn’t be more excited.
