"Norway's salmon and trout farmers grow their fish big: to an average size of 4 or 5 kg for Atlantic salmon and 2 or 3 kg for rainbow trout. Such fish command a much higher market price than the portion size animals cultured in other European countries. In this book Dr. Edwards describes in detail the commercial production cycles for slamon and trout in Norway, shows how and why the industry developed in its present form, discusses economic and market considerations, and specualtes about likely future developments."
