Norwegian salmon market sources reported a wide range of prices and expected transaction levels on Friday, making the market difficult to pin down.

By early afternoon trading was thin.

"Nothing much has been done yet. Many believe that prices will go down, without it being certain that it will actually happen," an exporter told IntraFish.

The exporter reported a slight decrease from last Friday, with prices between NOK 69-74 (€6.89-7.39/$8.35-8.96)
