Conclusion

Salmon (refer to Lerøy Seafood Group's management presentation www.leroy.no)

  • Challenging quarter.
  • Limited growth in global salmon supply combined with strong demand, gives a strong outlook for the coming years
  • Russian trade situation a challenge especially for trout export.

Pelagic - South America

  • The size of the 1st season quota in Peru remains uncertain.
  • Recovery of anchovy/sardine fishery in Chile, jack mackerel quota remains conservative.

Pelagic - North Atlantic (Pelagia AS, an associated company)

  • Strengthening our upstream position in the supply chain
  • Enhances the competitive strength in our pelagic business through productivity improvement activities, hereunder the effect of synergies and economy of scale.
  • Challenging political situation in main herring markets.
