OSLO, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Norway's fisheries ministry wants to
change the law regulating fish farms to be able to reduce output
in areas affected by environmental problems, it said on Friday. 
    Norway is the world's top salmon producer, and fish farming
is its second-largest export industry after oil and gas. Leading
Norwegian producers include Mowi  MOWI.OL , Salmar  SALM.OL ,
Leroy Seafood  LSG.OL , Grieg Seafood  GSFO.OL  and Norway Royal
Salmon  NRSM.OL . 
    The ministry invited various stakeholders, including
businesses, to express their views on the proposed amendments in
a public hearing set to last until Feb. 22, it said in the
statement.
