Fjardalax ehf’s salmon farm sites in Iceland have become Europe’s first salmon farms to attain Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification.

“We at Arctic Salmon are extremely proud to have attained BAP certification, Europe’s first salmon farms to do so,” said Höskuldur Steinarsson, the company’s general manager. “As a fairly young company, operating in the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic, we feel that this is a great marketing opportunity for us. The remoteness of our locations and the sheer distance from market makes it a pure necessity for us to produce salmon that stands out. Our ambition has therefore always been to focus on markets that respect our product as unique.”
