Settlement Amount $85 Million

Plaintiffs seek redress from Atlantic salmon producers who fixed prices of farm-raised Atlantic salmon sold in the United States, including Norwegian producers. Alleged conduct includes coordinating sales prices and exchanging commercially sensitive information, agreeing to purchase production from other competitors when those other competitors were selling at lower prices, and applying a coordinated strategy to increase spot prices in order to secure higher price levels for long term contracts. As a result, since 2015 farm-raised Atlantic salmon prices have been artificially inflated.
