Fresh salmon prices for delivery next week are likely to be a few Norwegian kroner higher than this week, industry sources report.

"Right now, producer prices are probably up NOK 3/kg, but we think it is NOK 1-2/kg, too high compared to what customers out there will pay," an exporter told IntraFish.

He said that challenges with wellboat access may have contributed to the upswing.

"There are a lot of lice, which means that well boats are being used. In addition, there is a lot of direct unloading due to ISA," he said.
