Healthy seafood
It takes respect for our world and the animals we share it with. It takes strong partnerships built on respect. And it takes time – but all good things are worth waiting for.
We believe quality cannot be rushed. In the three years it takes our salmon to grow to maturity, our farmers live and work alongside the fish, constantly monitoring their progress and health, caring for the fish and their welfare every step of the way.
Quality
Salmon has long been hailed as a superfood for its nutritional and health benefits, but what is it that makes Cermaq salmon the superior choice? It's in our commitment to quality and food safety at every level, from traceable genetics through to delivery of delicious, healthy food.
Certifications
We hold ourselves and our products to the highest standards, but it's important to us that our customers have more than our word.
Value Chain
We focus on each step of the value Chain from breeding to the grocery store. Salmon farming follows the same life cycles that occur in the wild. Eggs are harvested from broodstock fish and grown in fresh water to smolt size. Smolts are entered into sea water to grow to full size, when they are carefully harvested and processed, and shipped to customers worldwide.
Fish Welfare
When we raise fish, we have full responsibility for their health and welfare. That is a responsibility we take very seriously. Good fish health and welfare is not only a responsibility, but also the most robust basis for good business performance. This article describes how we manage fish welfare across Cermaq based on our policy, standard, and procedures.
