Nova Sea’s Sales Department sells all the fish produced by Nova Sea. Nova Sea salmon is sold in Europe, the USA and Asia.
Based in Lovund, on an island at the edge of the Norwegian Sea, Nova Sea AS is one of the largest producers of farmed salmon in Northern Norway, with 33.33 licenses for production of salmon. In addition the company is part owner of 4 licenses. We have salmon farms along the entire coast of Helgeland – surrounded by fresh, cold water and beautiful, wild nature. In other words: the perfect conditions for producing salmon!
Steinar Olaisen was a salmon farming pioneer and the founder of Nova Sea. Although he sadly passed away in 2011, Nova Sea is still run according to his philosophy of honesty and operational prudence, with a focus on quality and sustainability. From the first 1,200 smolt raised in 1972 to over 12 million salmon produced today, Nova Sea has grown to be one of Northern Norway’s largest salmon farmers. None of this would have been possible without a competent and dedicated workforce.

Quality
At Nova Sea, our goal is always to produce and deliver high quality food that meets the expectations of customers and consumers.

History
The first farmed salmon arrived aboard a seaplane that landed in Lovund in 1972. The first years were tough, with many setbacks, but the company was driven by a strong desire to reverse the decline in the local population and help the local business community.
