  "account": "Salmar reported its financial results for the third quarter on Tuesday morning, with an operating profit of 1.53 billion kroner and revenue of 9.4 billion kroner, according to analyst estimates cited by Bloomberg. Record-high catch volumes and significant profit improvements underscore the impact of strong biological development throughout 2026. The underlying biological status is good, and together with lower costs for the fish we have in the sea, this provides a solid foundation for continuation, says Frode Arntsen, Salmar's chief executive, in a statement. Lax stocks have been weak on Oslo Børs, weighed down by lower lax prices and concerns over higher processing costs. The seafood index remains in the red for the year, despite a rebound from summer lows. Salmar expects lower cost levels and forecasts a catch volume of 348,000 tonnes for 2027. At the same time, the company anticipates a global supply growth slowdown in 2027 and notes strong demand for its products.",
