The farmed salmon market is "difficult" right now, according to exporters IntraFish spoke with Friday, with big fish taking the brunt of the downturn.

One exporter said that 3-6 kilo fish are getting offers of NOK 54 (€4.70/$5.10) - NOK 55 (€4.80/$5.20) a kilo, but that large size fish of more than six kilos, which are usually priced higher, are getting offers below NOK 50 (€4.30/$4.70).
