Coast Seafood, one of Norway s largest seafood exporters, has filed a complaint with the Norwegian Competition Authority against salmonid farmers Firda Seafood Group and Blom Group, the majority owner of Blom Fiskeoppdrett, after they entered into a cooperation agreement in March.
Maaloy-based Coast Seafood owns 34 percent of Blom Fiskeoppdrett, while Blom Group owns 66 percent.
On April 29, Sverre Soraa, CEO of Coast Seafood and his lawyer Beret Sundet of BAHR, notified the Norwegian Competition Authority of matters of concern, and requested an investigation be launched into the cooperation between the two salmonid farmers.
Among other things, Soraa said he had been informed that Ola Braanaas, the owner of Firda Seafood, would be elected as a board member of Blom Fiskeoppdrett, with his lawyer, Mons Alfred Paulsen, as personal deputy member.
