As described in the fourth quarter report for 2019, the production for Lerøy Aurora in the start of 2020 was impacted by more winter wounds than normal. This has had a negative impact on price achievement in the first quarter. Production in other regions has been according to expectations, and the group makes no change to its guidance for harvest volume for 2020.
The current pandemic is demanding for all. Lerøy Seafood Group (Lerøy)’s value chain for seafood is managing the challenging situation in a satisfactory manner. Lerøy’s production units in farming, fisheries, and processing will through the downstream sales and distribution units do its outmost to ensure that our customers continues to experience a satisfactory level of service.
