Kaldvík AS, Iceland's leading salmon farming company, is closely monitoring a jellyfish event that has affected its operations in Reyðarfjörður. The incident began on September 4, 2025, and has caused an additional 0.3 percentage points of mortality among the 2025 generation of salmon.

As a precautionary measure, Kaldvík has initiated harvesting from select cages to mitigate potential losses. The situation remains stable, and the company is keeping a close eye on the evolving circumstances. The 2026 generation, located in a different fjord, has not been impacted by this event.

Kaldvík spokespersons have stated that the company is taking proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of its salmon populations. "We are closely monitoring the situation and have initiated harvesting from certain cages to reduce the risk of further losses," said a spokesperson for Kaldvík.

The company will provide further updates as necessary. "We will keep our stakeholders informed and continue to closely monitor the situation," the spokesperson added.

Kaldvík AS, with its well-developed and fully integrated value chain, is committed to providing sustainable and premium products to its customers. The company is dual-listed on Euronext Growth Oslo and Nasdaq First North Growth Market Iceland, reflecting its strong market presence.
