Around 125 000 eggs were inserted in this first batch and the ova arrived the hatchery in excellent condition. The eggs were supplied by Benchmark Genetics and their Icelandic StofnFiskur breeding program. These have shown great performance in land-based facilities, including AquaMaof’s R&D facility in Poland.

“After meticulous preparations, it is wonderful to finally initiate production. The team is ready, the facility is perfect and we have everything we need to provide ideal hatching and  growth conditions” says Dharma Rajeswaran, COO of Proximar.

Unpacking of eggs

This egg insertion marks the starting point for farming of Atlantic Salmon in Japan, giving Proximar a significant first mover advantage. Proximar will insert similar batches into the hatchery each month going forward, enabling continuous harvest from medio 2024.

“The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. I see it as a great achievement of our organization and suppliers to complete the facility in accordance with the ambitious timeline, considering issues such as covid-19 and global shortage of raw material” says Joachim Nielsen, CEO of Proximar

“The production start is a major milestone for the company and a significant step towards providing the Japanese people with sustainably produced seafood,” concludes Nielsen.

While production has been initiated in the Hatchery and Nursery building, the Post Smolt Grow out facility is still under construction. This is to a large degree repetition of work already undertaken and Proximar expects the facility to be completed according to schedule.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
