At idyllic Ure in Lofoten, Isqueen AS has its land base. Ure has fishing traditions dating back to the 16th century, and the village still makes a living from fishing.
In the vicinity of Isqueen AS, 4 licenses for salmon farming and 1 display license are operated. Salmon is farmed at Ure, Græna, Ballstad, Sandholman, Sennesvik and Stamsund.
Isqueen AS is a locally owned salmon producer based at Ure in Lofoten. Here, the second and third generation of the Svendsen family produces food fish and a display center for aquaculture.
In 2022, we were also nominated for the Gaselle award!
Salmon
The silver of the sea
ISQUEEN’s vision is that the key to a healthy and balanced lifestyle starts with diet. We deliver therefore only the best products you can get through salmon farming. Isqueen farms as it was meant to be in the original vision: Gentle, and with the least possible impact on the environment.
Smolt
From egg to fry
Our smolt plants are located at Framnes and Brenna. Both are located in Vågan municipality. Lofoten is the world’s largest spawning area for cod, and it is not without reason. Here the sea is cold, fresh, and clean. Oxygen-rich air is carried by wind and weather and supplies the sea with O2, which provides the best living conditions for farmed salmon.
History
ISQUEEN AS’s historical name is Lofoten Polarlaks. Since 1979, the Svendsen family has run their business from Ure in Lofoten. The third generation now runs the company under the name Isqueen AS.
Today, Isqueen is a modern aquaculture facility with a display center and a well-established reputation as a supplier of quality.
