OSLO, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The price of Norwegian farmed
salmon is expected to fall by about 1 Norwegian crown to 55-56
crowns per kilo next week for delivery in Oslo, two industry
sources told Reuters on Friday.
    Prices this week were expected to fall by 3-5 crowns to
53-55 crowns per kilo but came in somewhat stronger, partly due
to cancelled shipments of fish due to bad weather.
    "Prices seem to be down 1 crown to 55-56 crowns per kilo in
Oslo. More supply is expected next week and therefore
uncertainty increases," said one exporter who declined to be
named.
    A fish producer also said he expected a small drop in prices
from about 57 crowns this week.  
    In the forward market all contracts up to 2020, except the
September 2018 contract, were above 60 crowns per kilo,
according to data from Fish Pool.
