Norwegian Atlantic salmon prices jumped NOK 3 (€0.32/$0.35) to NOK 4 (€0.43/$0.46) from levels seen last Friday.

This was "expected," one exporter told IntraFish, given higher forecasted future prices and the approaching Christmas holiday.

Exporters called last week a "horror week" for Norwegian salmon, but they seemed in better spirits this week.

"Last Friday was bad but not as bad as feared," one exporter told IntraFish, adding pricing ended up slightly above the levels initially reported.

They exporter believes prices for next week will end at an average of around NOK 40 (€4.30/$4.60)
