Wuhan: the market volume of freshwater fish has increased, and the price has gradually stabilized.

Recently, with the cooler weather, the number of freshwater fish on the market in the aquatic market has increased, and the price has become stable. "the trading price of freshwater fish has declined as a whole compared with the previous period, but it is still higher than the same period last year." Liu Shaoxin, a fishery dealer in Baishazhou, Wuhan, said.

The increase in the trading volume of freshwater fish is expected to increase in September, because on the one hand, it is supported by the two major consumption peaks of the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, on the other hand, the prices of crucian carp and carp have dropped by more than 1 yuan compared with July and August, and the prices of grass carp and silver carp have also dropped, stimulating market consumption.

Industry insiders predict that the prices of the four major fish will still decline in the coming months, but will be higher than in previous years. At present, grass carp and silver carp, which have the largest trading volume in the Wuhan market, have not yet reached the listing peak. Local new grass carp begin to appear on the market, and it will take time for new silver carp to appear on the market. It is estimated that at the peak of freshwater fish listing, fish prices will fall compared with the previous period, and the price difference between different specifications of each species will be widened. For example, the listing volume of small-size grass carp and white silver carp will not be small, while the listing volume of large-size fish will certainly not be enough. In winter, when the demand for pickled fish is particularly large, the price of large-size grass carp should rise.
