Fish prices have dropped significantly, while feed prices have soared by nearly a thousand yuan

Among so many aquaculture species, the prices of some species fluctuate greatly, especially those of shrimp, crab and special fish species, which often experience sharp rises and falls. Generally speaking, the prices of the four major fish species are relatively stable. However, in 2021, the prices of common fish represented by grass carp rose significantly. The price of grass carp was shockingly high. In Tangshan, Hebei Province, the price of grass carp exceeded 14 yuan at its peak in the first half of last year.

Last year, the price of adult fish skyrocketed, driving up the price of grass carp fry as well. In some areas, the price of grass carp fry even exceeded 10 yuan per jin. The price of fry was driven higher and higher. Some farmers even rushed to buy the sky-high price of fry at 13 yuan per jin. The result was obvious. Generally speaking, the profits of farmers raising the sky-high price of fry were not good. The series of performances of grass carp last year well confirmed the claim that the consequences of following the trend are very serious.
