Mount Fuji salmon company issues "extraordinary update"
Proximar Seafood, the Norwegian owned salmon farmer which has built a large land facility at the foot of Mount Fuji, Japan, last night issued an “extraordinary production update” to say that fish growth was picking up.
The company said the biomass at the end of last month was 1,800 tonnes.
Proximar said: “As the company has received several inquiries about the current biological status after reporting date, this press release will secure that equal information is provided to all stakeholders.
“In the Q3 report, Proximar communicated a strong biological performance since end of the third quarter when the biomass stood at 1,379 tonnes.
“The company is pleased to report that the biomass uptick has continued, reaching 1,804 tonnes at the end of November. Hence, Proximar reiterates the goal of reaching 2,000 tonnes in biomass by the end of 2025.”
The company said the system is performing very well, and water quality is stable. Survival rate in the grow-out was 99.9% for November, and fish health remains good.
CEO Joachim Nielsen said: “I am very pleased to see that the positive biomass development with improved growth rates is continuing. We see good results of the improvements done over recent months, as communicated in our recent quarterly presentation.”
He added: “We expect this to transfer to increased harvest weights and improved price realisation for 2026.”
The company inserted its first batch of eggs in October 2022 and carried out its first harvest on 30 September this year.
Proximar’s new brand and logo (Fuji Atlantic Salmon) were officially launched in October at the headquarters of its partner Marubeni Corporation, in Tokyo.
