Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does this dumping not bring in the WTO? I can only find this reference from 2009 claiming they have stopped dumping. http://www.eu-norway.org/news/repeals_anti_dumping/#.Vf1gScR...

Dumping has to involve a government subsidy. Selling the product below cost at manufacturer's or investor's expense is just an aggressive market acquisition strategy.

The way I read it, it doesn't have to involve government subsidy. But maybe I am missing something?

"In economics, "dumping" is a kind of predatory pricing, especially in the context of international trade. It occurs when manufacturers export a product to another country at a price either below the price charged in its home market or below its cost of production."

Ironically, a large part of Norwegian Salmon is now owned by Mitsubishi: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/09/22/mitsubishi-to-buy-sal...

Didn't know, but i'm not suprised. The history is much more interesting in fact. They seem to have invented the fishcoin with mediterranean resources:
