There is growing concern among some in Norway that a new ground rent tax similar to the 25 percent tax imposed on aquaculture companies this year, could be levied on companies operating in the country's wild-capture fisheries.
"I fear that it will soon be the pelagic boats that will receive ground rent tax," Bengt Rune Strifeldt, parliamentary representative for Norwegian government opposition Progress Party, told IntraFish sister publication Fiskeribladet.
