The figures were presented by senior market analyst Jan Erik Oksenvaag at salmon trading exchange Fish Pool’s recent conference.
Russian growth of 24 percent this year has been eclipsed by 53 percent growth in South Korea, the figures showed.
Salmon sales are rising 10 percent in the European Union, 4 percent in the United States, 15 percent in Ukraine, and 11 percent in China and Hong Kong combined.
Japan, which is down 7 percent this year, was the only notable market showing any significant decline, said Oksenvaag, who added the statistics possibly give a somewhat distorted picture.
