Bergen, Norway-headquartered salmon-farming firm Lerøy Seafood Group (LSG) harvested approximately 48,900 gutted weight tons (GWT) of Atlantic salmon and trout in the second quarter of this year, which was an increase of 12,200 GWT compared to the corresponding period of 2024.
According to the company’s latest trading update, its operations at its Lerøy Sjøtroll location harvested 20,900 GWT, of which 9,800 GWT was trout; Lerøy Midt harvested 16,900 GWT; and Lerøy Aurora harvested 11,100 GWT.
LSG’s wild catch totals in Q2 2025, fulfilled by its Lerøy Havfisk business segment, totaled 17,700 metric tons (MT), representing a decrease of 100 MT year over year. The decrease mainly came from the group’s catch of cod, which totaled 1,200 MT in Q2 2025 but 1,500 MT a year previously.
Earlier this year, LSG estimated a total salmon and trout harvest volume of 211,000 GWT, including totals from its joint ventures, for the full year of 2025.
