NASDAQ Salmon Index pricing has been added to LFEX charting services.

The NASDAQ Salmon Index (NQSALMON) is the weighted average of weekly reported sales prices and corresponding volumes in fresh Atlantic Superior Salmon, head on gutted (HOG), reported to Nasdaq Copenhagen, BMR Administrator by a panel of Norwegian salmon exporters and salmon producers with an export licence. The panel is representative for the total export out of Norway.

The Index is published every Wednesday on the week following. Therefore, the Index for week 20 will be published in week 21 and published on our charts shortly thereafter.

The NASDAQ Index is a benchmark used for contracts, and as part of the settlement price for the Fish Pool futures contract and is widely followed by the industry. It is therefore a useful historical reference for industry followers and participants.
