Problem
Traditional sea-pen salmon farming poses environmental risks, impacting marine ecosystems and relying on chemical treatments. The industry needs sustainable alternatives to meet growing global seafood demand while minimizing ecological harm.
Solution
GeoSalmo employs land-based aquaculture farms utilizing a hybrid flow-through, recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) that integrates fresh seawater sourced from on-site boreholes. This method allows for sustainable salmon production in optimal conditions, minimizing handling and eliminating the need for antibiotics and lice treatments. The integrated, linear production process, from ova to harvest, ensures control and visibility. By using 100% renewable energy and implementing circular economy principles, GeoSalmo aims to minimize its environmental footprint and maximize resource utilization.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes consumers seeking sustainably sourced salmon, retailers and distributors focused on eco-friendly seafood options, and investors interested in sustainable aquaculture ventures.
