Frozen fish market situation in Murmansk as per 13 November 2007
As per 13 November 2007 the fresh frozen fish market is being marked by a certain rise of prices on some fish species, market players based in Murmansk told http://www.fishnet-russia.com/ (https://www.fishnet.ru/).
The herring fishery is about to come to an end. In this situation the prices of small herring have stayed high.
There is practically no inventory of mackerel of Russian origin that is why the average price of this mackerel has increased slightly.
The prices of bottom fish species have been increasing. Buyers from other regions of Russia are not yet ready to purchase the fish at such prices.
The shortage of blue whiting has been influencing the price level of this species on the market. The blue whiting carton No. 4 prices have increased up to RUB 26 per kilo and the prices of blue whiting carton No. 9 have increased to RUB 25 per kilo.
