LATEST TRENDS
Index for prices
January is a rather quiet month for seafood demand in Europe.
The focus has now changed to Chinese markets due to an overall Groundfish 9
reduction in European demand in the wake of the holiday season.
Flatfish 10
Strong demand from China in expectation of the Chinese New
Year festivities in mid-February will draw supplies way from the Tuna 11

Strong demand and high prices in the

fresh and frozen cod market is creating supply problems for the cured market. Cured cod is
still considered a product for periods when supply is plentiful rather than a value-added
product. A further increase in prices is expected in February and March 2018 for wet-salted
cod fillets from frozen Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), and there is also a shortage of
product in the market for wet-salted Atlantic cod fillets (Gadus morhua) from fresh raw
material of Faroese and Icelandic origin. Meanwhile, the market is stable for wet-salted ling
fillets, where there has been continuing good catches and high consumption. In general, the
quality of stockfish at present is far better than in 2016, when black spots were present on
the skin due to the persistent rain.

TUNA - BILLFISHES

Price of tuna, especially of skipjack, TUNA - Pacific Ocean

continue the downward trend which began
in November 2017. Limited demand from USD/kg

the Thai industry, which itself is a result of 3.0

sluggish demand for the final product, has 2.5 1.65

led to a steep decline in skipjack prices to 2.0

Some experts expect the price to dip below

USD 1 500 in the coming days, and the

canned tuna industry is becoming more and
more competitive.

Fishing in the Western and Central Pacific has slowed down to a moderate pace. However,
due to the large number of carrier landings in December and the end-of-year closure at Thai
canneries, raw material inventories remain at a healthy level.

The second 2-month IATTC ‘veda’ in the Eastern Pacific is ending on 19 January 2018, and
catches have been poor for those vessels (some 36 percent of the total) that have opted to
continue fishing over this period. While raw material supplies continue to be supplemented

and the Western and Central Pacific,
inventories at local canneries have fallen to EUR/kg

Fishing in the Indian Ocean has resumed for all fleets since the start of the year. Raw material
inventories at local canneries remain healthy. Both skipjack and yellowfin prices have fallen.

The annual 2-month FAD closure in the Atlantic Ocean came into effect on 1 January 2018.
Both catches and raw material inventories at local canneries are moderate. In line with the
global trend, skipjack and yellowfin prices are declining. In Europe, prices for skipjack have
fallen while yellowfin prices remain stable. Meanwhile, the market price for cooked, double
cleaned yellowfin loins is down due to the arrival of duty-free quota loins. The 25 000 tonne
duty-free quota was already exhausted by the first week of January.

SMALL PELAGICS

Demand for herring in Poland is good at the moment, while catches are declining,
pushing prices higher. Sprat prices are reported to be stable.

Pacific herring is in ample supply and is selling at record low price levels in Vladivostok. On
the Moscow market, however, price of Pacific herring is stable.

CEPHALOPODS

Catches in the South African Loligo SQUID - in Italy, origin: South Africa
squid fishery have been good, and it is
estimated that more than 5 000 tonnes EUR/kg

have been landed since the season re- 7.0
opened on 23 November. Prices for the 6.0 7.55

larger sizes are holding up well, but 5.0

they are weak for the smallest size "S". 4.0

While the current catch rate is pointing

3.0

to softening prices, however, the

strength of the local currency, the rand, Squid - Whole, FAS, size M
is discouraging price cuts. The rand has
firmed from ZAR 16.90 to ZAR 14.80 to the Euro in 6 weeks.

Low demand from Europe is reported for cuttlefish, with slightly downward trending prices.
Most of the cuttlefish supply is being directed to East Asia.

CRUSTACEANS

During the Christmas season,

consumer demand for shrimp ARGENTINA RED SHRIMP - origin: Argentina
remained low, confirming a weaker
EUR/kg
shrimp market in 2017. In January, 10.5
7.60

demand has remained weak but 9.0 7.30

prices have been stable. Price 7.5 7.20

increases in the coming months are 6.0 7.20

4.5
likely, as imports in EU28 will be 3.0
seasonally low until April/May 2018
and high demand for shrimp in East
Asia is anticipated for the Lunar New > 10-20 pc/kg > 20-30 > 30-40 > 40-60

Year celebration in February.

The Argentine fleet posted record catches of shrimp in 2017, with the total in the first three
quarters of 2017 already exceeding the previous 200 000 tonne record achieved during 2016.
Exports from Argentina, which is one of the leading suppliers of sea-caught shrimp, were, at
44 950 tonnes, 16 percent higher in the first nine months of 2017 compared with the same
period of 2016. This was due primarily to increased exports to the USA, Japan, Viet Nam,
Thailand and the Russian Federation. Exports to the EU and China fell over the same period

4
 (-15 percent each). As inventories in Europe of Argentina shrimp are relatively high, prices
are likely to come down soon, with the exception of large sized shrimp, that had been sold
at a very low price in recent months.

OTHER CRUSTACEANS
EUROPEAN LOBSTER - in Europe, origin:
Demand for crab and lobster remained firm for EUR/kg
year-end sales. This is the end of the fishing 35.0 32.00
season for European lobster and stocks are 30.0

There are some difference with regard to 15.0
inventories of American lobster in Canada 10.0

and the USA. While there are some whole

raw and cooked lobster and cooked lobster
meat on stocks, the lobster tails inventories 400-600/600-800 gr/pc

are scarce, so prices will be high for tails in CRAB - in France, origin: Europe
coming months. The Canadian new season
will re-open on 1 May. Canadian exporters will EUR/kg

be taking advantage of duty-free status in the 5.0

EU under the Comprehensive Economic and 4.0

Trade Agreement (CETA) in the new season 3.0

to the disadvantage of US exporters. 2.0
Meanwhile, demand in Italy has been weak 4.85

in January, for tropical lobster, and prices 1.0

have fallen sharply as a result.

Demand for crab was high during the holiday

400-600 - 600-800 kg/pc

season, leading to a record price of

EUR 4.85 per kg.

BIVALVES

French Bouchot rope and Dutch bottom mussels are plentiful on the French market. Organic
rope mussels are also widely available and well accepted by French consumers, who are
willing to pay a higher price for what is considered a more healthy product. Spanish mussels
have also managed to carve out a market slot as a lower priced alternative.

5
 December is the strongest season for MUSSEL BOUCHOT - in France
shellfish sales in general, and for oyster sales
EUR/kg
in particular. December sales can represent
6.0
over 50 percent of annual sales of oysters of 5.5
French origin, the main oyster exporting 5.0 4.80
4.5
country. According to the oyster mortality 4.0
monitoring bulletin from the French scientific 3.5
institution IFREMER dated 18/12/2017, the 3.0
average cumulative mortality rate is 70
percent on national level for seed oysters Monthly average consumer prices in metropolitan…
with high regional variation. Juvenile and
adult oysters are reported as having much lower mortality rates (8 percent and 7.2 percent
respectively). Overall, according to the IFREMER monitoring programme, seed mortalities
are a little above 2016 levels whereas juvenile and adult mortality rates are well below last
year’s figures. Summer oyster growth is reported to have been disappointing which has led
to a shortage of large oysters.

SALMON

Prices for Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon Salmon - origin: Norway

began the year close to record highs but
NOK/kg
declined steeply in the last two quarters as a
100.0
buildup of biomass led to a spike in harvest 90.080.0
volumes. However, it appears this trend is 70.0 60.0
61.42
50.0
reversing in early 2018 as supply tightens 40.0 30.0 56.11
once again. As of week 1, 2018, the Fish Pool 20.0
10.0
Index, which reflects average Norwegian
0.0

export prices for fresh whole Atlantics, was at

NOK 56.34 per kg, significantly higher than
3-4 6-7
the 2017 low of NOK 45.31 per kg but some
way below the NOK 79.69 per kg observed in week 1, 2017.

Despite the decline in the second two quarters, the average price for 2017 as a whole was
still higher than the previous year, and the full-year report recently released by the
Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) showed a 5 percent increase in Norway’s farmed Atlantic
salmon export revenues in 2017, driven by higher prices overall and a 2.8 percent increase
in total export volumes. The annual totals came to 1 million tonnes worth NOK 64.7 billion.
The EU remains by far the most important market for Norwegian salmon exporters but its
relative share declined slightly in 2017 after a 2 percent drop in EU-destined volume and a
1 percent increase in value. Offsetting this decline is a significant increase in exports, of 11
percent in value and 13 percent in volume, to Asian markets such as Japan, Viet Nam and

6
 the Republic of Korea, and also increased exports to a salmon-hungry US market. In Scotland,
a weaker British pound, strong demand in the EU, the US and China, and high prevailing
prices meant record revenues for the industry in 2017. In line with their Norwegian
counterparts, prices for Scottish fish fell towards the end of the year but have begun a
recovery in early 2018.

Current forward prices at Fish Pool reflect the broad market consensus for an average price
level of NOK 55 per kg for January and just below that for 2018 as a whole. This would
represent a decline of about 10 percent compared with 2017, and is the result of an expected
increase of around 8 percent in global supply of farmed Atlantic salmon. Demand is firm and
stable in the EU, where economic conditions are improving.

TROUT

Continuing tight supply of farmed trout from TROUT - Ex-farm prices in Italy
Norway saw 2017 exports drop 42 percent
EUR/kg
in volume terms to 40 000 tonnes and 27
4.5 3.70
percent in value to NOK 2.9 billion, figures 4.0
that reflect the effect that the lack of fish 3.5 4.00
3.0
has had on price levels. Although good 2.5
biological performance over the course of 2.0
the year saw biomass growth accelerate and
1.5

eased some pressure on prices in the

second half of the year, farmed trout Trout: Salmo spp Rainbow Trout: Oncorhynchus mykiss
remains scarce and demand from the US,
Eastern European and Asian markets should prevent prices from dropping much further in
2018.

 Due to negative press, European demand for pangasius continues to decline. As a result,
imports into the EU were some 15 percent down in 2017 and Viet Nam, the main supplier of
this species to the European market, is diversifying its exports, increasing sales to Africa and
Latin America. Tilapia imports into the EU, in contrast, grew somewhat in 2017, but this
species still is rather marginal in the EU market, equivalent to only one third of total
pangasius imports in volume terms.

SEABASS - SEABREAM - MEAGRE

Both of the two major Mediterranean SEABASS/SEABREAM - in Italy origin: Greece

suppliers, Turkey and Greece, have
EUR/kg
been supplying the European market
6.5
with significantly greater quantities of 6.0 4.40
bass and bream this year, and this has 5.5
5.0
pushed prices downwards. Compared 4.5
4.0
with December, January prices for 3.5 4.20

Greek seabream on the Italian market 3.0

rose slightly for small sizes (200-300g)

and extra-large sizes (1kg+) grade but Seabass fresh whole 300-450 gr/pc Seabream fresh whole 300-450 gr/pc

dropped for the 600-800g category,

while seabass prices remained stable for small (200-300g) and large (800g+) fish but fell for
all other sizes. For the mid-size category (300-450g), prices are now at their lowest point in
4 years in Italy, while reports from Spanish wholesale markets reflect similar trends. Without
a significant negative supply shock, total production of bass and bream in the Mediterranean
region can be expected to remain at or above 2017 levels over the next couple of years and
although progress in market diversification, technological innovation, product development
and marketing means that the sector is not as vulnerable to price crashes as it once was,
the short and medium-term outlook remains uncertain. In other industry news, there are
now eight bidders competing for majority stakes in two of the largest Greek bass and bream
companies, Nireus and Selonda. The majority of the remaining potential buyers are US and
European based investment funds seeking to advance consolidation of the Greek industry by
acquiring both firms. The sales process is now expected to be completed sometime in the
second quarter of 2018.
