Fish farming, or aquaculture, and specifically salmon aquaculture, is the fastest growing food production system in the world. In the late 1960s, faced with declining wild stocks, Norwegian fishers began "farming" Atlantic Salmon in open pens on the coastline. The Crosby Group, through its Gunnebo Industries brand, has been a part of the industry since the beginning. Through technological development and increased market demand, the industry has grown exponentially. The Crosby Group has continually evolved its products to facilitate the installation, use, and inspection demands of the fast-moving aquaculture sector, contributing to higher safety in an environment where people and equipment are facing increasing challenges.
