CATDOLL : CATDOLL: As the temperature rises, crayfish will also enter the peak season. What is the current market situation of crayfish?

1. As the temperature rises, crayfish will also enter the peak season. What is the current market situation of crayfish?

The first is the price crash. The price drop has a lot to do with the weather. Many farmers did not make adequate preparations for pond management, and the pond environment was relatively poor, which led to early diseases of crayfish this year. Common problems include death of soft-shell shrimp due to lack of oxygen, as well as malnutrition, ciliate parasitism, and May plague. Farmers should make up for the previous management work, continue to raise shrimp well, strive to improve the bottom quality, maintain aquatic plants, and adjust water in place. Feed selection and feeding should not be affected by market conditions.

Secondly, the traffic is very poor. Mask incidents occurred in many places across the country, and the traffic was still not smooth, causing great losses to crayfish farmers. Affected by the weather itself, crayfish were put on the market ahead of schedule and the output was high, but due to poor traffic, it was difficult for crayfish from the production area to enter the big cities. For some big cities, due to insufficient demand in the catering industry, crayfish sales were bleak. As a result, crayfish transactions were deserted, and prices in the production areas fell, which in turn affected market quotations. Consumers in various places have gradually strengthened their awareness of actively protecting against the epidemic and try to reduce going out, including shopping.

Secondly, the crayfish sold by farmers are mainly low-end shrimps. Most of the crayfish listed by farmers are small and small, with too large a proportion of low-end supply and insufficient high-end supply. In all crayfish markets, the low-end supply is very sufficient, the backlog is gradually increasing, and the supply is very slow, with a slight phenomenon of unsalability. Therefore, merchants in various places have to stimulate the vitality of the retail end by reducing prices and promoting sales. This is an important reason for the "dive" in lobster prices.

Another reason is the reduction in the peak season. In the past, lobster restaurants could operate from April to November, but the peak season is only 3-4 months, which has a great impact on the crayfish industry. After all, seafood products began to enter the market in August, and hairy crabs entered the market again in September, which affected the sales of crayfish. At the same time, the scale of crayfish farming is large, but the peak season has shrunk, and the market has been greatly affected. Cities across the country have very strict prevention and control measures, which will be greatly affected and is the main obstacle to the sales of crayfish.

At present, the market conditions for crayfish are very good. Its price is around 50 to 60 yuan per catty, and it remains very stable, and there may be an upward trend.

The market situation of crayfish is still very good, especially during the peak season. For young people, it is an indispensable midnight snack. During the crayfish season, there is basically a shortage of supply.

The market is very good. Now many people eat this food, and its price is very high, so poor people can only eat it occasionally.

2. The price of crayfish has dropped below 10 yuan per catty. With summer approaching, why are crayfish no longer so popular?

The price of crayfish has fallen below 10 yuan per catty. With the arrival of summer, crayfish are no longer "fragrant" and the price has plummeted. This is because the peak season for crayfish to be on the market has arrived, and crayfish farms of all sizes have achieved an absolutely bumper harvest! There is an oversupply of crayfish, so the price will naturally fall again and again. After all, things are precious because they are rare, and when supply exceeds demand, they are naturally no longer precious! Think about it, crayfish was more than 30 yuan per catty in April, but now it has fallen directly below 10 yuan. In such a short period of time, the price of crayfish has also taken a roller coaster ride, which is ridiculous! The price of crayfish has plummeted, consumers are happy, and farmers are crying!

It is reported that although the farmers have a bumper harvest of crayfish, they can only break even if they sell them at the current price, and there is not much profit! In this regard, the farmers are naturally distressed! However, judging from the current situation, the price of crayfish has not bottomed out, and there will be room for price reduction in the future. In this case, it is time for crayfish farmers to find a way to do deep processing to prevent further losses! Otherwise, it may really be a waste of hard work!

Have fun eating

After the price of crayfish plummeted, consumers are very happy to buy them! In the past, people bought crayfish by the pound, but now consumers are quite generous and buy crayfish starting from five pounds! After all, it only costs fifty yuan to buy five pounds of crayfish, and five pounds of crayfish basically requires two pots or even more! In May, the price of crayfish has fallen below ten yuan, and consumers can eat high-quality and low-priced crayfish for about three or four months! When everyone is tired of crayfish, hairy crabs will be on the market, and the delicious taste will be endless!

cooking

When we cook crayfish, we must remember one thing, that is, we must cook it thoroughly! Many people choose raw marinated crayfish for the chewy taste of crayfish. This way of eating is extremely risky, and if you are not careful, you may suffer from rhabdomyolysis! In this regard, you must be cautious if you love to eat crayfish!

The price of crayfish has dropped below 10 yuan per catty. With summer approaching, it’s time to eat crayfish!

Now is the peak season for crayfish, and there are so many of them, so they are not so fragrant and the price will be lower.

Due to many problems with transportation in various places during the epidemic, the supply of crayfish is insufficient. In some areas, the epidemic is very serious and crayfish cannot be transported in. People who like to eat crayfish cannot buy it.

There was a cold period in the crayfish market, and at the same time, the large production of crayfish caused the price of crayfish to drop.

4. How many people in Xinjiang raise crayfish? How is crayfish consumed in the market?

Miquan and Wujiaqu have a lot of seafood because they are close to Urumqi. The consumption of seafood in Xinjiang is far less than that in the mainland, and the eating habits are different, but the cities and prefectures outside Urumqi do not buy much.

There are lobster farmers in Anningqu, and the Railway Bureau has several hotels specializing in lobsters.

5. Qianjiang crayfish, large and medium shrimp purchase price today

As of June 2020, the purchase price of Qianjiang crayfish and large and medium-sized shrimps is around 8-19 yuan today.

The prices vary from place to place and from size to size. The purchase price of large and medium shrimps is around 15-19 yuan today. Crayfish are now on the market, but due to special circumstances, the price of crayfish this year is not very good, and the terminal consumer demand is also relatively poor. It has not fully recovered until now, which has also caused the demand for crayfish to continue to shrink. In a state of oversupply, the price of crayfish has naturally plummeted.

The purchase price of lobsters weighing more than 3 cents is only 8.5 yuan per catty, which was 15 yuan per catty last year, while the purchase price of lobsters weighing more than 4 cents is 11.5 yuan per catty, which was 17 yuan last year. The sales of crayfish continue to decline. In the past day, the sales revenue was about 4,000 yuan, but this year it is only more than 1,000 yuan. It is already very good if it can reach 3,000 yuan on weekends.

Additional information

Crayfish are farmed all over the world and have formed a large number of wild populations. China introduced them from Japan in the 1930s and 1940s, and Japan introduced them from the United States earlier, mainly for food and pets. Crayfish are often mixed with crops (such as rice) in fields. They do not require artificial hatching. Once the pond is stocked with stock, it can achieve self-sustaining. After harvesting, there is no need to stock the stock again.

The escaped individuals survive by digging holes in the embankments. They can survive in temporary water bodies, have a wide range of food, establish populations very quickly, and spread easily. They are extremely threatening to local fish, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, destroying the local food chain; because they feed on roots, they directly cause catastrophic damage to crops (especially aquatic and semi-aquatic crops such as rice) and natural vegetation;

The burrowing causes the loss of irrigation water and damage to the fields; because the crayfish have a very diverse diet, it has a certain degree of impact on the spawning of fry and the cultivation of one-year-old fish, and harms artificially bred young clams.

Because crayfish are highly adaptable, resistant to adversity, have a wide range of diets, and multiply rapidly in population, they often cut off crops, especially rice crops, and may compete with local freshwater crayfish species.
