Since the first fisheries exhibition in 1960, the Royal Family has shown its support for the Nor-Fishing exhibition and its sister event Aqua Nor, which is organized for the aquaculture industry. Since King Olav opened the first exhibition, a representative from the Royal Family has, with almost no exceptions, attended the event.

The last time Nor-Fishing was held in Trondheim Spektrum, H.R.H Crown Prince Haakon attended the opening.
