Overview of seafood exports from Russian Far East in January 2012
In January 2012 development of seafood shipments from the Russian Far East to main export markets was characterised first of all by comparably high level of frozen pollock roe import to Japan and South Korea and import of frozen salmon to China, reports http://www.megafishnet.com/.
Against the background of a further decline of live crab shipments those of frozen crab to Japan and the USA were fairly active as well, though prices were comparably low, especially for snow crab which reminded the market observers of a period before the start of a dramatic price rise for snow crab on the US market.
