Norwegian salmon prices are moving lower in quiet trading after edging higher last week.

"It is dead quiet. Little is happening," said a producer in Norway on Friday afternoon.

Several market sources expect the price for fresh salmon delivered next week will settle in the mid to high NOK 60 range per kilogram.

Public holidays in key markets in Poland, Spain and Portugal on Monday are depressing demand, say producers.

The producer expects salmon prices for 3-6 kilogram fish to settle somewhere between NOK 67-71 (€6.82-7.01/$7.23-7.43)/kg.
