International interest continues to grow in the salmon farming sector in Norway, but investors that may have missed the boat with majors such as Mowi, Leroy or Norway Royal Salmon are now looking at consolidation opportunities among mid-sized salmon farmers, according to Jorgen Horntvedt, the principal of Seafood Corporate Advisors.

"There are farms in that 10,000-30,000-ton production area that are really ripe for growth," Horntvedt said.
