Gårdsfisk is looking for an aquaculture technician/biologist


Gårdsfisk was founded by the entrepreneurs Johan Ljungquist (marine biologist) and Mikael Olenmark Dessalles (civil engineer). The water-loving salesman and the technically brilliant "designer" teamed up - and developed a concept of fish farming on land. Gårdsfisk was founded in 2013.


Gårdsfisk wants to create sustainable food production and raise the world's most sustainable fish. The positive effects are several - to ensure that we can continue to eat fish but with reduced environmental impact, to keep the countryside alive by building fish stables on existing farms, fish manure is used as fertilizer on the land around the farms and to carefully manage our natural resources by ensure that the water is recycled without eutrophication.


Gårdsfisk currently has eighteen full-time employees and a turnover of approximately SEK 8 million in 2020, with the goal that by 2023 it will be around SEK 150 million. The farm is located in Skättilljunga - 25 minutes from Kristianstad, 45 minutes from Lund, 55 minutes from Malmö.


The office is on the farm - with fish farming on the other side of the yard.
