The fish markets in Finland were formerly protected from international competition. The markets were gradually
opened to free competition in the 1990s due to the EEA agreement and EU membership. As a consequence, the importation of fresh salmon from Norway rapidly increased, and imported salmon captured the markets from domestic...
After decades of decline, real salmon prices paid to California fishermen have rebounded in the past few years. This recent price recovery is probably due in part to reduced availability of fresh salmon in local
markets, but anecdotal evidence suggests increased product differentiation by consumers is also an important part...
The United Kingdom is the world's second largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon. It also represents one of the larger markets for the product. During the 1980s, there was rapid growth in the industry stimulated by high market prices and major technological advances. While there was a substantial increase in...
In this paper, we study the short run price dynamics of imported fresh, farmed Atlantic and Pacific salmon on US regional markets. An Error Correction framework is used to specify a short run model. The results show a substitute relationship among the different salmon species in that an adjustment process...
France is Europe's largest market for salmon, close to saturation for traditional products but open to opportunities for differentiated items. Over the last ten years, the supply of salmon-based products has moved from basic items to more sophisticated ones. Processing is one way of turning the product into what consumers...
It is generally accepted that the color of salmon products is one of the most important quality parameters.
Therefore, color plays a decisive role when evaluating the quality of the product at point-of-sale. The colors resulting from
the deposition of carotenoids are considered to be of significant behavioral importance to...
Some years ago, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture undertook a study of the nutrient profile of the leading species of cultivated and wild fish and shellfish. Some data from that work were published, but information on fatty acids was not included. This paper presents data on the fat, cholesterol and...
The fish market in Finland has changed dramatically since the removal of trade barriers to the importation of fresh salmon in 1993. Imported salmon has rapidly captured markets from domestically produced salmon trout. Another clear trend has been increased concentration at the wholesale and retail level, which in turn has...
The impressive growth of world aquaculture has led to profound transformations in the economic structure of several capture fisheries. Evidence from the Alaska salmon fisheries supports this argument as a connection has been suggested between the recent trends of declining ex-vessel prices and the rapid development of salmon farming elsewhere...
