August 23, 2019 — Mowi is considering dropping plans for a futuristic method of salmon farming.
Along with Hauge Aqua, Mowi has developed an ovaloid-shaped conceptual design, termed “The Egg,” which floating, self-supported, and closed salmon-farming cage that is described as “escape-proof.” The enclosure is designed to limit interaction between the farmed salmon on the inside and the wild salmon on the outside, and would prevent sea lice because it pulls in ocean water from 26 meters, which is a depth where the parasites are unable to exist, according to Marine Harvest.
