Members of the Chilean Senate have resumed examination of a bill that seeks to extend a block on the approval of new salmon farms until 2030.

“Prices have been going sideways for several weeks in a row. There is no upswing. 46-49 kroner (EUR 4.6-4.9) at 3-6 kg, I think,” said a salmon importer to SalmonBusiness. “It has been the same price for three weeks in a row, so there is no difference,” he added.
“At best stable, but I think it is rather on the downside. I see falling prices. It is probably the fifth week with optimism at the beginning of the week and stable or down towards the end of the week. Unsold fish in Oslo. Prices sound very similar last week, but there is downward pressure.”
