The Norwegian salmon farming industry is facing significant challenges due to an unusually harsh winter and the El Niño climate phenomenon, which have caused record fish mortality rates and raised concerns about the impact of warmer summer temperatures. With fish mortality reaching 16.7% this year, attributed to increased jellyfish attacks and warmer waters, farmers are adopting measures like underwater cages and longer land-based rearing. Export bans on damaged fish are forcing farmers to adapt, but analysts predict difficulties in maintaining harvest volumes as salmon prices continue to slide.
