Salmon price leaps 56 per cent in one year because of the bad weather

The report, says that cold weather in Norway has caused salmon growth rates to slow down, reducing production and pushing prices up higher. In addition, rising fishmeal prices have also played in  

At £4,745 a tonne, farmed Norwegian salmon is now 56.1per cent more expensive than this time last year and up by 4.5per cent month on month, says The Grocer.

The Grocer said that the picture also remains challenging for coldwater prawns, with prices rising because global supply has tightened.
