SalMar - Results in the first quarter characterized by a challenging winter period
“The first quarter was challenging in many ways, and we were once again reminded of the importance of working with the forces of nature. Our ability to understand biology and the environment is of great importance for our operational and financial performance. That is why we believe so strongly that our many improvement initiatives, including Salmon Living Lab, are important for the continued success of our company and our industry as a whole,” said SalMar's CEO Frode Arntsen.
