"Despite setting a new export record in 2025, the backdrop is far more demanding and gloomier than at the same time last year," the Norwegian Seafood Council CEO explained.
Jan Eirik Johnsen, currently Head of Analysis for Pelagic Fish and Key Account Manager for Pelagic Species at headquarters, will take up his new position in July.
However, even with prices of some key products reaching record highs, Norwegian seafood exports' value fell year-on-year for the second month in a row.
Salmon, which had fallen in recent months, registered a monthly export record, both in volume, with a 4% year-on-year increase, and in value, with a 7% increase.
