OSLO, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Forecasts for next week's Norwegian
farmed salmon deliveries range from 50-53 crowns per kilo, from
around 53 crowns this week, two industry sources told Reuters on
Friday.
    "Prices are stable. On average prices are at 53 crowns,"
said an exporter who declined to be named.
    A producer said he expected a decline to 50-52 crowns for
fish below six kilos.
    "A lot of fish is harvested at this time of the year," he
added.
    For salmon bigger than 6 kilos the producer said prices were
seen in the range above 60 crowns and close to 70 crowns per
kilo.
    In the forward market all contracts up to 2020, except the
October 2018 contract, were above 60 crowns per kilo, according
to data from Fish Pool.
