Salmon

[matrixmann]

Can somebody explain me the price craze about salmon explicitly bred in aquaculture in Norway this year?
Over a year, the price for that kind of fish from that source has made quite an increase - and it seems to apply only to this source, as the same fish species caught in the wild isn't affected by it (the frozen food department also can offer you some not from Norway and it is quite a puzzle if you see two times the same packages with the same content (250 grams) only with different layout and different origin declared and the price of one of them is about twice the sum of the other).

I don't know, maybe then the demand is high. But farming fish produces something with lots of antibiotics as I read because lots of fish living together get sick quickly but wild-caught on the other hand get all the contaminant from the environment.

High demand - well, about that I have no information. But that could always be possible.
Last winter, the crazy high prices for tomatoes, I read, were allegedly also due to suppliers from the UK buying a lot of them from the market because other markets either were closed to them ot there was some problem.
Result for the rest of Europe was that the prices climbed to heights.
If I remember correctly, for some other vegtables the prices in the UK were also exceptionally high.
So...
Well, that's a thought I also already developed.
Will see if anybody at any time gives me a hint or drop a note about this in his own area too.
