Marine Harvest, the world's biggest Atlantic salmon producer with sizeable operations in Scotland, has forecast a sharp fall in 2013 volumes because it will have fewer live fish ready for slaughter.
The company warned earlier this month of an 84% drop in earnings, and yesterday it reported third-quarter results which prompted a 5.6% fall in its shares on the Oslo stock exchange.
Marine Harvest's earnings before interest and taxes in the quarter to September 30 fell to 73 million Norwegian crowns from 457m crowns a year ago (£46m to £7m).
