Prices for Norwegian salmon continue to slide because of reduced summer demand.
In addition, Norway has been battered by Storm Hans this week, which caused dozens of roads to be closed by flooding or landslides in southern Norway and neighboring Sweden.
The extreme weather led to the cancellation of ferries and delayed flights, leaving behind damaged buildings with people evacuated from some areas.
For a time on Thursday, main roads linking the major Norwegian cities of Oslo and Trondheim were closed.
