Creating the leading US West Coast provider of fresh and sustainably raised Atlantic salmon. West Coast Salmon (WCS) plans to build and operate an industrial scale land-based Atlantic salmon operation outside of Reno, Nevada. The first phase is designed to deliver close to 14k tons of production capacity (HOG, per annum “steady state”) in 2025, serving fresh and sustainably raised Atlantic salmon to health and environmentally conscious US West Coast consumers. WCS’ business plan consists of three development phases for up to a total of around 50k tons HOG production. The farming facility’s proximity to major markets will ensure a continuous local supply of a high quality, fresh and environmentally sustainable product that has longer shelf life and significantly reduced CO2 footprint than conventionally farmed salmon transported by air from Chile and Europe. Significant land acreage for expansion, close to infrastructure, with associated permitted freshwater rights, are owned by WCS. The farming operation will be based on the latest Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology designed and commissioned in cooperation with PR Aqua of Vancouver, a state-of-the-art primary processing facility at site, as well as specialized RAS feed from Skretting. WCS’ anchor investors are Bregal Partners and Nutreco B.V.
