Norway is the world's biggest supplier of salmon, providing 50% of global production.

Salmon farms are controversial, but the wild variety is now an endangered species, with stocks having declined to record lows.

The farm raised salmon frequently escaped from their cages and tanks, in the process themselves endangering wild populations living in rivers.

Nordlux is the 11th biggest salmon factory in the world and employs 70 people per shift.

The factory runs 16 hours per day processing 300 tons of salmon from the Nordlux farms.

Some of the salmon are shipped to destinations around the world as whole fish.

In 2023 , Nordlux will post profits of almost 50 million on a global scale.
