 EU demand for raw material for fish processing is growing, but EU fisheries are not able to
meet this demand, and indeed have not been able to for some years now. In fact, the deficit
is growing and dependence on imports is increasing accordingly. To address this, the European
Commission has increased the autonomous tariff quotas (ATQ), a duty free import quota for
raw material intended for further processing within the EU, for 2019 and 2020. This means
that EU fish processors can continue to import raw material for further processing from non-
EU countries at reduced rates or duty free over the next two years. The Alaska pollock ATQs
for these two years has been increased from 300 000 tonnes to 320 000 tonnes.

Turbot prices are likely to come down after

the Christmas period. Demand will be slow
until mid-April, when the Easter period will
lead to improved demand in Spain and
Italy.

The Russian Federation government has

announced a slight increase in the total
allowable catch (TAC) for Alaska pollock,
from 1.781 million tonnes in 2018 to 1.786
million tonnes in 2019 (+0.3 percent).
Alaska pollock is scarce on the Moscow
market at present, and demand is pushing prices upwards. Catches are good in the Far East
of the Russian Federation, but firm demand there is keeping prices stable.

Catches of cod in Poland have been good, despite the winter weather, which in fact is warmer
than normal for this time of year. However, prices have increased on the Polish market as
demand has been outweighing supply.
For wet-salted cod fillets from frozen raw material (Gadus macrocephalus), the period of
highest consumption (Christmas) has ended and prices will likely now begin a slow decline. For
wet-salted cod fillets (Gadus morhua) from fresh raw material of Faroese and Icelandic origin,
good fishing in the North Atlantic and slowing consumption is expected to lead to a decrease
in prices.

TUNA - BILLFISHES

Tuna prices have continued falling due to excess inventories at the main canning plants.
Bangkok sets the price for the global market, especially for skipjack tuna, and prices there
have reached the lowest level in three years. Further declines are likely over the coming months.
Fishing in the Western and Central Pacific is reported to be below average mainly due to bad
weather. Raw material inventories at local canneries remain healthy. Due to the closures during
the New Year period, there is currently a backlog of carriers in Thailand. Skipjack prices have
fallen further.

will end on 19 January. For those vessels out
fishing, catches are reported to be very poor,
and there have been few carrier arrivals from the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean or Western and
Central Pacific. However, as local canneries were shut down during the New Year period, raw
material inventories remain good. Skipjack prices have fallen while yellowfin prices have
increased slightly.

The two-month FAD closure in the Atlantic Ocean is in force until 28 February. Fishing is
reported to be slow while raw material inventories at local canneries remain healthy. Skipjack
prices have dropped further while yellowfin prices remain stable.
There have been minimal transactions in the European market due to the holiday season.
Skipjack prices remain stable, while yellowfin prices have fallen due to weak demand. The
market price for cooked, double cleaned yellowfin loins has fallen sharply on the Italian market
due to the arrival of duty free quota loins. With about 42 000 tonnes of loins arriving in Europe,
the 30 000-tonne duty free loins quota has already been fully allocated. The balance of 12 000
tonnes will be subject to duty.

SMALL PELAGICS

Norway’s autumn mackerel season started slowly in early October. The main problem was
unfavourable weather conditions, which persisted for weeks and kept some of the fleet in port.
There was a reduction in landings as a result of this and, as of mid-October, Norwegian
mackerel landings amounted to only 74 000 tonnes compared with 180 000 tonnes at the same
time in 2017. This has seen first sale prices shoot up by over 35 percent.

Demand for herring has been strong both on the Russian and Polish market, and this has been
driving an upward price trend.

Shrimp raw material production and supply in Indonesia has been quite stable compared with

large size category, this was mainly due to higher catches in the on land processing industry.

Prices are sky-high for lobster and crab, as Christmas sales are concurrent with a period of low

luxury products like lobster will likely see prices decline in the coming months.

SALMON

Recent figures released by the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) confirm a record-breaking
year for Norway seafood exporters, with farmed Atlantic salmon identified as the largest
contributor to that achievement. According to the NSC, Norway exported 1.1 million tonnes of
salmon in 2018 (+5 percent) worth NOK 67.8 billion (+5 percent), representing 68 percent of
Norway’s total seafood export revenue.
The relatively high price levels that have been a major factor in this revenue growth have
continued into early 2019, with week 1 prices for fresh whole Atlantics out of Norway recorded
by FishPool at NOK 65.6 per kg, compared with
NOK 56.34 per kg in the same week last year. Salmon - origin: Norway
This increase is the result of a small reduction NOK/kg

In the United Kingdom, meanwhile, prices for

Scottish salmon are reportedly stable at near pre-Christmas levels as of mid-January. The
Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation (SSPO) has called for a rejection of a “no-deal” Brexit,
suggesting that this scenario would see the industry suffer an estimated GBP 2 billion in lost
sales annually.

TROUT
The NSC is projecting a 3 percent increase in total Norwegian production in 2019, although
stronger growth in Chile is expected to contribute to a global increase of some 4 percent. In
the shorter term, fish growth is reportedly good in Norway, although storms have been causing
some logistical delays and a minor volume spike may follow in the coming weeks. Overall, the
expectation for a generally stable start to the year is reflected in forward prices at FishPool,
which now stand at NOK 63.82 per kg for the first quarter of 2019 and NOK 62.55 per kg for
the full year.
In Norway, farmed trout biomasses recovered strongly from low levels over the course of 2018,
and exports rose accordingly. According to the NSC, Norway exported 46 400 tonnes of trout
worth NOK 3 billion in 2018, increases of 16 percent and 5 percent respectively. Prices have
remained firm in the face of more plentiful supply, however, and in the last week of 2018
export prices for fresh whole trout out of Norway stood at NOK 61.05 per kg, 4 percent above
the equivalent week in 2017.

SEABASS SEABREAM

Prices for farmed bass and bream in Europe are approximately stable compared with December,
at a time of year in which market activity is seasonally subdued. In Italy, the largest importer
of both species, early January prices for Greek-origin bass and bream stood at EUR 3.90 per
kg and EUR 3.80 per kg respectively, a consequence of an ongoing downward trend that has
seen prices across Europe reach multi-year lows. The supply growth that has been driving this
decline is set to continue in 2019, with a recent Greek report forecasting a 4.5 percent in Greek
production of both species this year.
