At least four Norwegian salmon fishing outfits are reporting they can’t find any salmon!

Last season they claim they had to end the fishing early due to an outbreak of sea-lice infesting the fish.  The result is the fishing industry panicked and harvested way too many salmon too soon, meaning they harvested a lot of fish before they were able to spawn!

Now there are so few North Sea salmon that the price skyrocketed to 30 year-highs in the fish markets.

“Driven by low availability and weak NOK, salmon prices have continued up during the week. We are now seeing one of the highest weekly prices ever ….The biomass situation is challenging as the volume available for harvesting over the next six months are substantially lower….”-Kolbjorn Giskeodegard, Nordea
