Feed & Input Costs

~50% of salmon production cost — key upstream price drivers

How to read: Fish meal is the primary marine protein in salmon feed (~30% of feed cost). Soy meal is the dominant plant protein (~45%). Wheat is a carbohydrate filler. When these prices rise, salmon production costs rise, supporting spot prices (bullish).

Salmon Equity Basket

Oslo Børs — Institutional sentiment proxy

How to read: Institutional investors price in biology, supply expectations, and demand outlook before official data is published. Rising equity basket = bullish sentiment. Mowi (40% weight) is the bellwether.

FX Rates

Salmon priced in NOK — currency moves directly impact buyer margins

How to read: Higher NOK = weaker krone = cheaper salmon for foreign buyers. European buyers (60% of exports) pay EUR, US/Asian buyers pay USD. A 5% EUR/NOK move materially impacts buyer margins.

Competing Proteins

Substitute prices — protein market comparison

Chicken is salmon's main substitute for price-sensitive consumers. When chicken prices spike, consumers switch to salmon (bullish demand signal). Beef is a premium substitute with weaker substitution effect.

Sea Temperature

NorKyst800 — Production-weighted national average across all 13 PO areas

How to read: Warmer water (+1.5°C anomaly) = faster salmon growth = more supply = bearish. Colder water (-1.5°C anomaly) = slower growth, higher mortality = less supply = bullish. Data from NorKyst800 oceanographic model (same source used by Barentswatch for lice dispersion).

Eurostat Retail Fish & Seafood Price Index

HICP CP0113 — All fish & seafood (not salmon-specific)

The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for fish and seafood (CP0113) tracks retail prices across all fish and seafood — salmon, cod, tuna, shrimp, tinned sardines, etc. Base year is 2015 = 100.

Limitation: This is a proxy signal, not salmon-specific. A tuna price spike moves this index the same as a salmon spike. Useful for broad seafood demand trends, noisy for salmon-only analysis.

Interpretation: Index = price change since 2015, not absolute price level. Ireland at 110 means +10% since 2015; Norway at 179 means +79%. Low index = low inflation, not cheap fish.
