Of this increase, 11.7% was due to higher selling prices, related to higher raw materials prices which were passed through. A volume increase of 3.5% was driven by the growth in fish feed, according to the company. Revenue in fish feed increased 19% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, mainly due to a volume growth of 12.3%. The price effect was 5.3%. Salmon feed volumes increased due to strong performance in Norway and a recovery in Chile.
