The Norwegian salmon industry has, in terms of production and economic results,
been a great success. However, due to environmental problems such as sea lice and
escapes, the industry encounters increasing resistance from many quarters, headed
by the wild salmon sport fishers. In order to improve the image of the industry, the
fisheries authorities have suggested four new reforms that all contribute to the
greening of the industry. At present, the outcome of these reforms is uncertain. The
article discusses the pros and cons of these reforms. It sees them as an introduction
to the next large battle for space, which is due to take place if the salmon industry is
going to expand as projected
