Norwegian salmon prices surged at least NOK 10 (€1/$1.10) per kilo this week, although there are mixed opinions about where the market is headed.

Most of the dead fish from the algal bloom have been cleared from the affected farms, which led to a dramatic rise in prices initially, an exporter told IntraFish.

However, prices may go down following the bloom, according to another breeder.

Big gaps exist in the larger-sized fish prices spreading at about NOK 10 (€1/$1.10) per kilo, making it difficult for exporters to make profit, another exporter told IntraFish.
