With the arrival of the summer high temperature season, the aquaculture industry has also ushered in the peak period of listing, but the price of fish and shrimp has ushered in a downturn, but the price of aquatic feed has continued to rise sharply.
01, California perch fell 4 yuan
Since mid-June, the California perch market has begun to fall, and this week the average price of California perch fell by 1.2 yuan, and in some areas it fell by 4 yuan.
Among them, Huzhou Tong cargo fell by 1-2.5 yuan / jin, Wujiang 8 two specifications fell 2-2.5 yuan / jin, Chengdu 9 two specifications fell 0.5 yuan / jin. In the Nanning area, due to the high temperature, there are more sick and dead fish, and the size of the 8 two ends has fallen by 4 yuan / catty.
Specifically, Wujiang 8 two specifications of 13 yuan / jin, as for why the market is sluggish, mainly due to the amount of fish, sunrise column 300,000 jin, because of the supply of more, fish prices are difficult to go higher; The Overall Wuhan market is stable, 8.5 two specifications of 15 yuan per catty; Huarong 8 two specifications of 15.5 yuan / catty, but the local diseased fish began to increase, its market has been sluggish.
Chengdu area, 9 two specifications of 20 yuan / jin, the overall market is considerable, but due to the large number of Jiangsu, Hubei sea bass entered, local sales are affected by it, it is expected that there will be a risk of decline next.
Nanning area, 8 sizes have fallen from 18 yuan to 14 yuan / kg, the current incidence of sea bass gradually increased, more sick fish, accounting for about 2-30%, so the price of fish fell significantly.
In general, the temperature in central China, east China and south China is high, the disease of California perch has increased, and there have been phenomena such as rotten bodies and flower bodies, so many fish farmers have accelerated the speed of selling fish in order to avoid being recruited. However, with the decrease in fish in the pond, the next fish price may usher in a higher.
02, King Kong shrimp market diving
Judging from the recent shrimp prices, the market for diamond shrimp in many places can be described as falling all the way, mainly because the diamond shrimp has just entered the peak period of listing, and with the weak market consumption and the rebound of the mask problem, the price of diamond shrimp has begun to dive.
For example, the Zhangpu king shrimp market has fallen all the way, and the current amount of ponds is still 90%, but due to the centralized listing, the market supply is too much, coupled with the sluggish consumption, the result is that 30 head of king kong shrimp have fallen to 26 yuan a catty, 40 shrimp from 23 yuan to 21.5 yuan per catty, 20 shrimp to 30 yuan a catty.
Hainan king shrimp is also relatively sluggish, 14 heads of size fell to 46 yuan a catty, 22 fell from 34 yuan to 32 yuan / catty, mainly due to the continuous increase in listing volume, so the market fell. Local prawns account for 20-30%, although the consumption is sluggish, but with the increase in the number of tourists, supporting shrimp prices, so the king shrimp market is still high.
In Zhanjiang and Beihai regions, 20 head size has fallen to 33 yuan, 15 head size has also fallen back to 43 yuan per catty, because the market continues to fall, many shrimp farmers began to sell.
Overall, the scale of breeding this year is significantly larger, an increase of 40% over last year, so the overall market is low. If you want its market to improve, it also needs to be pulled by consumption.
03, yellow jaw fish downturn
Recently, Lao Liang, a farmer in Guangdong, helplessly said that in 8 consecutive days, 40,000 kilograms of yellow jaw fish have died of disease in the fish pond, and if it continues, it will go bankrupt. In fact, it is not only Lao Liang who is facing the problem of sick and dead fish, but also many fish ponds have bacterial disease infections, so that the fish mortality rate has increased significantly.
However, in the case of the increase in the number of yellow jaw fish disease deaths, its price is not satisfactory, such as in the Hubei region, more than 5 inches of fish has fallen to 9 yuan, while feed prices continue to rise, farmers do not have much profit to speak of.
In fact, as early as March, the price of yellow jaw fish began to reduce, when there was a phenomenon of dead fish in many places, I thought that fish prices could rebound, who knew that starting in June, the high temperature and rain continued, the fish case fatality rate increased, and the price was not satisfactory.
Guangdong 5 two fell to 10.8 yuan per catty, Huzhou 3.7 two for 11 yuan, Chengdu 4-inch specification of 9.8 yuan a catty. However, from past experience, after the peak period of sick fish, its fish prices will rise rapidly in the short term, so fish farmers should stabilize, I believe that it will not be long before the yellow jaw fish will usher in a wave of rise.
04, Romphi fell
Judging from the recent tilapia market, its market is not satisfactory, many places have fallen below 4 yuan, fish farmers have fallen into losses, and many people have chosen to sell.
In the Pearl River Delta region, the 1.2 kg specification has dropped from 5.7 yuan to 5.3 yuan per catty, down 0.4 yuan; in the Zhanjiang area of Guangdong Province, the 0.6-1 kg specification has dropped from 3.35 yuan to 3.15 yuan per catty, and the 1-1.6 kg specification has dropped from 4.35 yuan to 4.15 yuan; in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, the size of more than 1.2 kg has dropped from 5.7 yuan to 5.3 yuan a catty.
It can be seen that many places in South China have obviously fallen, and the main reason behind it is the large amount of ponds, such as 10,000 catties of sunrise fish in Zhuhai, but the market circulation is not much.
While fish prices are low, aquatic feed prices continue to rise, and since July, a number of aquatic feed factories have ushered in the "7th round" higher this year. For example, Hexian Haida announced that puffed feed rose by 300 yuan per ton; Wuhan Dabeinong announced that granular fish feed rose by 150 yuan per ton, shrimp and crab feed rose by 100 yuan per ton, and puffed feed rose by 200 yuan per ton; Zhejiang Guangdong's high-grade puffed feed rose by 300 yuan per ton.
Overall, this year's aquatic products have risen by 1,000 yuan per ton compared with last year, but the price of fish is much lower than last year, such as grass carp compared with 2.5 yuan per catty. For farmers, only by reducing the cost can it be profitable, such as self-ingredients, reducing the density of breeding, and doing a good job in disease prevention and control.
After a large number of sick and dead fish are eliminated, fish prices are bound to rise, and it is expected to rebound after September. I believe that as long as farmers continue to persevere, they will eventually see the light.
