Why are the prices of freshwater fish soaring?

From the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the visits of reporters from China News Network, the main protagonist of this wave of price increases is freshwater fish
.

"In the past few years, the price of freshwater fish has been relatively low, but the cost of breeding has been rising, which has caused some farmers to switch careers.
At present, the area of ​​freshwater fish farming has been greatly reduced, and the total output of freshwater fish has decreased significantly
.
" Recently, the Wuhu City Development and Reform Commission in Anhui Province is analyzing.
Point out the reasons for the rise in freshwater fish prices
.

According to information from the Wuhu Municipal Development and Reform Commission, fish prices are high before the Spring Festival, and farmers will basically clear their ponds as adult fish.
After the Spring Festival, fish fry will be restocked, but fish breeding requires a certain cycle.
At present, most fish ponds contain fry, which can be grown fish out of the pond.
The relative decrease in quantity has led to a shortage of market supply
.

"As far as we know, the price of fish has gradually risen since last autumn, but the price increase is not obvious because the north has to clear the pond before winter begins
.
" Liu, head of the Beijing Xinfadi Market Statistics Department Tong told a reporter from Chinanews.
com
.

In Liu Tong’s view, “This is mainly due to the floods in the main producing areas of Anhui, Hubei and other places in 2020.
Some fish in the fish ponds ran away along the floods and some of them were lost, resulting in insufficient fish stocks and rising prices after the floods.
It also led to insufficient hatching of fry at the beginning of this year
.
"

The probability of a significant drop in summer fish prices is small

The Development and Reform Commission of Wuhu City, Anhui Province believes that as the temperature further rises, the loss of live fish during transportation and sales may increase.
At the same time, summer is the peak season for freshwater fish consumption, and the probability of a significant drop in fish prices is expected to be small
.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, starting from 12:00 on May 1, fishing in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea north of 12 degrees north latitude, including the Beibu Gulf, will be closed for no less than three months
.

As the fishing moratorium approaches, the supply of marine fish decreases.
Will the price of freshwater fish increase further?

"Judging from the situation in recent years, the fishing moratorium has little effect on the price of freshwater fish.
Moreover, the price of freshwater fish is already high now, and there will not be much change in the price
.
" Liu Tong said
.

"Wait until the fall, when the number of fish on the market increases, the prices may go down
.
" Liu Tong said that by October, the northern fish ponds will pass the winter, and the fish in the ponds will be sold.
During this time, the prices are usually low.
