Frozen fish market situation in Murmansk as per mid-July 2008
As per mid- July 2008 the fresh frozen fish market is characterized by slackening of business activity typical for June - July, market players based in Murmansk told http://www.fishnet-russia.com/ (https://www.fishnet.ru/).
The first offers of summer herring of Russian origin and fresh mackerel have appeared.
The prices of ground fish species have decreased. The inventories of blue whiting in coldstores are large and the price is coming down.
The variability of capelin prices is triggered by the fact that big-sized roe capelin from the Barents Sea is offered at a price of RUB 35.00-36.00 , while capelin from Norway and Iceland is of smaller size and consequently cheaper.
