West Coast Salmon AS Details
West Coast Salmon plans to build and operate an industrial scale land-based Atlantic salmon operation in Pershing County outside of Reno, Nevada. The first phase will deliver 12.600 tonnes of production capacity (HOG, per annum "steady state") in the second half of 2024, serving fresh and sustainably raised Atlantic salmon to health and environmentally conscious US West Coast consumers. The facility's proximity to major markets will ensure a continuous local supply of a high quality, fresh and environmentally sustainable product that has longer shelf life and significantly reduced CO2 footprint than conventionally farmed salmon transported by air from Chile and Europe. In addition, the company's ESG commitment will be further demonstrated by primarily sourcing renewable energy and reutilizing outputs from the operation as valued by-products.The company's business plan consists of three development phases for up to a total of around 50.000 tonnes HOG production. Significant land acreage for expansion, close to infrastructure (electric grid and highway), with associated permitted freshwater rights, are owned by West Coast Salmon. The salmon farming operation will be based on the latest recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology from AquaMaof, a state-of-the-art processing facility at site, as well as specialized RAS feed from Skretting, Nutreco's aquaculture division. Owners include Bregal Partners, Nutreco N.V, AquaMaof, Beachpoint Capital Management, as well as Board members and management.
