Index for prices

Prices are generally high on European seafood markets, particularly for groundfish and octopus products. Tuna prices are declining, however, due primarily to good landings in the Western Pacific.

GROUNDFISH Prices for wet-salted cod fillets from frozen raw material (Gadus macrocephalus) are expected to remain high as demand is still strong from China, Japan and Europe. For wet-salted cod fillets (Gadus morhua) from fresh raw material of Faroese and Icelandic origin, supply is tight. Cod has been particularly scarce in the Faroe Islands, and the fishing fleet is mainly targeting ling and brosme. Consumption on the Italian and Spanish markets is still limited.
