“Norcod will be stocking the first pens on the northern side of Frøya in spring 2020. There is an increase in the demand for fresh cod, while at the same time the wild fish population is under pressure and quotas for catching wild cod are dramatically reduced. This makes it possible for us to produce high quality cod in a sustainable way”, says Tsjipke Deuzeman in Norcod. “ScaleAQ’s local presence and expertise have been crucial for our choice of supplier”.
