OSLO - China has halted imports of salmon after the discovery of the novel coronavirus at a Beijing wholesale market, fish farmers Norway Royal Salmon and Bakkafrost said on Monday .

"We can't send any salmon to China now, the market is closed," Mr Regin Jacobsen, CEO of Oslo-listed Bakkafrost, said. Shares in major producers, including Norway's Mowi, Norway Royal Salmon and Salmar, as well as Bakkafrost of the Faroe Islands, were down by 5-7 per cent in early trade. Following reports in state-run newspapers that the coronavirus was discovered on chopping boards used for imported salmon at Beijing's Xinfadi market, major supermarkets in Beijing removed salmon from their shelves on Saturday.
