Form the origin
Innovation, legacy and the future all starts at the same place, the beginning. Within a single, tiny roe, the precedent of aquaculture is set.
Osland has since 1963 developed and preserved Norway’s oldest trout broodstock, as well as tailoring the optimal growth conditions for fish roe and smolt.
Through 60 years of innovation and gene development, our hallmark roe results in a stock that is efficient to farm, robust and results in the most delcious, high-quality fish for the end-consumer.
Not all fish are created equal
Osland perfect and preserve two of Norway´s pedigree broodstock trout.
A fish is not a fish. What makes our trout unique, is the continiuos development and innovation of the gene pool, resulting in distinct qualities.
Our two lines are both highly improved for farmed life, it grows robust, shiny and hits maternity slowly; resulting in a finer taste and an easier avoidance og disease. A roe is not simply a roe, it is 60 years of innovation.

- Cerified according to GLOBAL GAP
Form within
In the tiniest of DNA, the fine detail of what’s within can be found. How it will grow and swim, what size it will be and what it will end up tasting like. All this is hidden in the genes and can be amended to better suit your farm.
One bad egg can ruin a batch, and a good one can create a greater harvest. This can mean all the difference for the end result.
It all starts within the roe.

Form the Fjords with love
Sognefjorden is at the center of all we do. It is where we work, produce and ship. We´ve worked hard to create a fully local value-chain, making sure the fish goes from roe to meal within the community.
We want to contribute to the community that surrounds us, adding jobs, value and activities in and around our locations.
