Newfoundland Salmon Farmer Northern Harvest Sea Farms Increasing Production

Doug Caines, the General Manager of Northern Harvest Sea Farms (NHSF) operation in Newfoundland, said that the company has recently expanded its production level in the province.

Caines said that the company has added 54 cages at three grow-out sites in its Coast of Bays operation in 2011. These new sites are located in the Rencontre East area of the COB.

Caines said, "We put two million smolts in the 54 new cages back in June. This is major investment on our part, and a big leap of faith for NHSF. However, we have a good team of 23 workers from Rencontre East who are doing a great job in raising the fish for us.

"We're moving to a new level of production with the introduction of these new fish which means that at the moment our company has about six million fish in the water in the COB at various stages of growth.
