Russia Forecasts Big Drop in Wild Salmon Catches After a bumper 2023 harvest, production in 2024 will return to traditional levels for pink salmon. Russia expects wild salmon catches in the country's Far East to drop by nearly half in the upcoming season, which begins June 1, allowing the traditional two-year cycle of pink salmon production to return to normal levels.

This year's squid harvest was unusual from the start. Southern Patagonia, located south of the 49°S parallel, is not exploited by a powerful fleet, but is operated by a fleet 200 miles away. However, since the start of the season, the crews of the 70-vessel Potera fleet have found surprising concentrations of squid in the area and at this time of year.

The world as we know today homes more than 800 million chronic malnourished people. This is a serious issue, especially when human’s population doesn’t show any sign of decreasing, being predicted that by 2050 we will be 9.6 billion. At the same time, the natural resources our planet offers are not unlimited, and the majority is being either over-exploited or poisoned.The world needs to eat. Every day.There are several good reasons why Tilapia may help this issue to vanish. It’s cheap, it’s abundant, it has a good source of lean protein and although it’s not rich in omega-3 fatty acids like you find in salmon.

Recently, the wholesale price of eels in China's Guangdong Province has risen by a whopping 25 per cent compared to last year, with the wholesale price of small-size eels climbing to RMB 210,000 per tonne, while large-size eels have also reached a high of RMB 195,000 per tonne. Behind this price movement is a combination of factors.

In the 7th week of 2025 (10th to 13th February), China's squid market offers were clearly divided: Southeast Pacific squid and Indian Ocean squid prices showed an upward trend, with Southeast Pacific species becoming the focus of the market due to the reduction of stocks and the rebound of demand; Southwest Atlantic squid (offline) and Northwest Pacific squid maintained stable prices. Combined with the trading data of Zhejiang Zhoushan International Agricultural Products Trade Centre and the dynamics of production areas, we will analyse the market performance of each region in detail.
