Our methodology
The Salmon Index is built on weekly reported export prices and volumes of Norwegian Atlantic salmon (HOG) from a verified exporter panel. Data accuracy is maintained through standardised collection and consistent weighting. The index transitioned from NQSALMON (Nasdaq Copenhagen) to SISALMONI (FinanceAgri) in August 2024, while keeping the same benchmarking principles. Prices are shown per weight class in EUR/kg, with indicators reflecting weekly changes.
