Pollock
Fishing has been slow the last few weeks due to
weather. Supplies of 2-4, 4-6 and 6-8 are steady. The market is expected to
remain solid on all sizes.
Cod
The
B Season news is bleak with a number of boats quitting due to poor catches.
This could lead to future price increases and shortages on some sizes.
Currently we have supply of all sizes.
Rockfish
Small
amounts of fillets are continuing to be produced in Alaska
Flounder
The
overall supply of Alaskan Flounder and Sole fillets continues to be limited;
there is no short-term relief in sight for once-frozen and skinless fillets out
of Al aska.
keta salmon
At 17,000,000 fish Alaska
sockeye salmon
The Sockeye market continues to strengthen on
short supply. Expect continued supply shrinkage and rising prices.
coho salmon
The harvest for 2012 is extremely
disappointing. Many harvest locations are recording poor landings. As a result
of the poor landings, prices remain extremely high and supply is very hard to
find. Expect the market to remain firm and supply hard to locate.
tilapia
Chinese
production typically increases to avoid winter hazards, so there are plenty of
smaller fillet sizes available, while the supply of larger frozen fillets is
somewhat tighter.
pink salmon Alaska
king crab
The combined IFQ and CDQ quotas for Bristol
Bay Red King Crab will total nearly 8 million pounds. St Matthew Blue King Crab
will add another 1.6 million pounds to the supply. Larger sizes are expected to
remain in demand while some adjustment is still possible for mid sizes.
snow crab
The
market was driven higher by the shortage of larger clusters early in September.
We are now seeing increases on prices on 5 up which are driven by good demand,
as snow crab remains a value. However, Bering Sea
quotas will drop to 66 million pounds this year, down by 25%.
dungeness crab
High pricing and limited availability was the
story for clusters and whole cooks in September. The next fishery is due in mid
October with major supply not hitting markets until December.
langostino lobster
The
last of the catching periods in Chile
halibut
Nearly
90% of the 24 million pound halibut quota has been taken. Market activity is
increasing, but customers are looking for lower prices. Halibut deliveries in Alaska
swordfish
Availability
of raw material has remained consistent but not overly abundant through the
summer grilling season. Fishing effort continues steady, weather permitting.
The outlook is for a steady market in the short term.
yellowfin tuna
Demand remains strong against relatively short
supply. Landings in traditional areas have fallen as expected, but for vessels
with the range to find the schools it has remained relatively consistent. The
outlook is for fair availability for the short term with uncertainty down the
road.
mahi mahi
Overall
supply is fair to good, and with the new season looming, the market is
beginning to show signs of movement. The fleet in South
America is looking to commence fishing this month, with buyers
anxiously waiting to see what the new season will bring.
atlantic salmon
Demand has remained consistent and strong even
as the market shows signs of instability. Production numbers from Chile
sea bass
Supplies are adequate but not overly strong at
this time of year. Consistent landings in South America
have kept the overall market stable. The outlook is for increased fishing
effort as the winter season turns to spring and summer in the southern
hemisphere.
surimi
The
2012 Alaskan Pollock B season fishery in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands is all but wrapped up. Reports to date show that 96% of
the annual quota has been harvested. Market reports show prices in Japan and Europe
are up 20% for both Pollock A
