The marketplace has been created to facilitate the transaction of financial salmon contracts for farmers and purchasers of salmon. Fish Pool says that it will be offering completely new tools for the salmon industry and will be aiming to bring more stability to the prices of salmon.

Fish Pool selected Trayport based on their position as the leading provider of electronic commodity trading systems in Europe, said Fish Pool managing director Soren Martens.

Trayport GlobalVision software is installed by leading brokers and trading houses and has more than 80% market share for all electronically traded commodities in Europe. Being able to offer such a well accepted system is an important advantage in creating sufficient liquidity in the marketplace, he further explained.
