Abstract
The conditions in the Norwegian salmon farming industry are constantly changing. Locally

and globally, regulations, consolidation and technological advancements are some of the

factors having a deep impact on the current industry. To ensure competitiveness, it is

essential to emphasise on profitability and taking the correct strategic decisions. The

objective of this thesis is to indicate what may cause variation in profitability in the current

Norwegian salmon farming industry, and what will be important in the future. The study has

an explorative and descriptive purpose.

Our study object consists of 169 different Norwegian salmon farming companies,

representing roughly 70% of the industry. To indicate possible reasons for profitability

variation, we have studied the competition environment of the companies, important sources

of profitability and the correlation between several factors and economic performances.

Our main findings reveals that purchasing costs and cost efficiency in terms of other

operating costs seems to explain variation in relative profitability. The price of salmon

naturally has a great impact on the profitability of the industry. Further on, there is also a

correlation between debt ratio and relative profitability.
