Norwegian firm plans fish farm at ex-mussel processing site

A Norwegian fish farming company is seeking to develop a closed container fish farm at buildings which were previously used for the processing of mussels in Bantry, West Cork.

Niri AS, trading as Niri Seafood, want to develop the farm 800m southwest of Reen Point at a site developed for mussel farming.

They hope to develop 3,300 tonnes of salmon from the site, including salmon smolt production.
