Frozen fish market situation in Murmansk as per 25 December 2007
As per 25 December 2007 the fresh frozen fish market is being marked by stabilization of prices of the main fish species, market players based in Murmansk told http://www.fishnet-russia.com/ (https://www.fishnet.ru/).
At the end of the year 2007 the prices of pelagic species (herring, blue whiting and polar cod Boreogadus saida) have stabilized. The demand for these species has decreased noticeably and regional traders are not willing to increase inventory before the New Year holidays.
Traders from Murmansk are expecting recovery of business on the market for these species just after the New Year holidays (in Russia they last from 30 December - 9 January).
At the same time the average prices of table and delicacy fish have been increasing.
