No Mowi, no SalMar, no Leroy, no Grieg, no Cermaq: Major players skip $400 million farmed salmon license auction

An additional 24,644 metric tons of capacity was auctioned by the Norwegian government on Thursday but the major players of the salmon farming world stayed away in protest over the country's new ground rent tax on aquaculture.

The boycott will only serve to heighten fears that the salmon industry intends to fight the government's tax proposal tooth and nail.
