  • Mowi (MOWI.OL): Broadest sector proxy — vertically integrated across feed, farming, and sales/marketing in 70+ countries.
  • SalMar (SALM.OL): World #2 Atlantic salmon farmer; Norway + offshore + Iceland + Scotland exposure.
  • Bakkafrost (BAKKA.OL): Premium Faroe Islands + Scotland exposure; high-quality operator outside the EU antitrust scope.
  • Lerøy Seafood (LSG.OL): Salmon + trout + whitefish + shellfish integrated value chain — less pure-play, more diversified.
  • Grieg Seafood (GSF.OL): Smaller salmon farmer; higher-volatility / turnaround exposure (Norway + Newfoundland).

EU antitrust note: preliminary objections (Jan 2024, Case AT.40606) name six producers — of this basket, Mowi, SalMar, Lerøy Seafood, Grieg Seafood, plus unlisted Cermaq and Bremnes — for alleged spot-price collusion 2011–2019. Bakkafrost (Faroese) is not in scope. Unresolved; companies contested — not a final ruling.
