Lerøy Seafood Group reported a total harvest volume of 39,900 gutted weight tonnes for salmon and trout during the first quarter of 2026. This represents an increase from the 38,200 gutted weight tonnes harvested during the same period in 2025.

The figures provided by the company do not include harvest volumes from Scottish Seafarms. Regional data shows that Lerøy Aurora harvested 8,300 gutted weight tonnes, compared to 7,100 tonnes in the previous year.

Lerøy Midt recorded a slight decrease in volume to 16,000 gutted weight tonnes from 16,400 tonnes. Meanwhile, Lerøy Sjøtroll saw an increase to 15,700 tonnes, with trout accounting for 6,100 tonnes of that total.

In the previous year, Lerøy Sjøtroll produced 14,800 tonnes, of which 9,500 tonnes were trout. Beyond aquaculture, the company also released figures for its wild catch division.

Total wild catch volumes in Lerøy Havfisk reached 14,300 tonnes in the first quarter of 2026. This is a decline from the 19,000 tonnes caught during the first quarter of 2025.

Cod catches accounted for 2,700 tonnes of the total wild catch this quarter. This figure was down from the 3,600 tonnes of cod caught in the same period a year ago.

The company stated that the full report for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to be released on May 12.
