GS E&C has achieved a significant milestone in land-based salmon farming, demonstrating the successful cultivation of Atlantic salmon using its advanced water treatment technologies. This breakthrough marks a pivotal step forward for the aquaculture industry, as the technology can be applied and scaled up for future projects. To mark the completion of the demonstration, Eco Aquafarm, a subsidiary of GS E&C dedicated to land-based salmon farming, hosted a ceremony on Wednesday at the Busan Smart Aquaculture Cluster.
The event featured a tasting of the land-raised salmon, which was met with great enthusiasm from GS E&C CEO Huh Yoon-hong, officials from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, and representatives from the Busan city government. The Busan Smart Aquaculture Cluster serves as a testbed facility, capable of producing up to 500 tons of Atlantic salmon annually.
Once commercial shipments commence by the end of this year, the technology will pave the way for the expansion of land-based salmon farming, offering a sustainable solution to meet the growing global demand for seafood while minimizing environmental impact.
