Gorjan Nikolik, senior global seafood analyst at Rabobank, said that in the context of last year's market decline, China's weak price data should be accepted

He pointed out that salmon exports to China were affected in the first half of 2020, but the real problem started after the COVID-19 virus was discovered in the Beijing wholesale market in June last year
.

The stringent virus-related testing measures for imported seafood have led to a 50% year-on-year decrease in imports in the second half of 2020, especially in the fourth quarter, and a 25% year-on-year decrease in imports in the first quarter of this year

.
Considering that the price of air freight, the price of cargo boxes, wooden boxes and ice packs are rising, coupled with the possible decline in the number of large oysters, he believes that the price of oysters in China will only continue to rise

As the European market became "active" after a period of interruption, Des Moore found that many Irish and French aquaculture farmers were more inclined to sell small seafood on the European continent instead of focusing on the large Chinese market
