Jon Arne Grottum, the Norwegian Seafood Federation's (FHL's) regional director and technical director for statistics and market, predicted a 12-percent drop in salmon slaughter volumes in 2013 at the salmon summit Havbruk 2012, held in Oslo last week.
FHL anticipates salmon slaughter volume in Norway to end up at 1.26 million metric tons.
Sources, contacted by IntraFish after the conference reacted to such a hefty downturn in slaughter volume with raised eyebrows, as general market predictions are in stark contrast to FHL's forecast.
