The number of salmon in the United States has increased sharply this year. 2018-08-22 10:30:38 The number of salmon in the United States has increased sharply this year.
Alaska is fishing for salmon during this year's (2007) fishing season.
Stocks of pink salmon species have been reduced to critical levels, so the current fishing season has eased concerns among canned traders.
Alaska is expected to catch 171 million fish in 2007, suggesting a 21% increase this year over the previous year (2006).
Although the total number of salmon caught in Alaska in 2006 was the 15th largest in history, the season was markedly the least pink salmon ever caught.
During the 2006 fishing season, the state captured only 11.7 million fish, much less than the estimated 52 million.
It was also the lowest level of cannabis salmon catch in Alaska since 1987.
Back in 2005, Alaska had a bumper harvest of 160 million pink salmon.
It has been observed that the number of cannabis salmon caught in the pink variety is traditionally high-low, i.e., two years in a cycle.
So in 2007, Alaska has a promising future for the pink variety of salmon, with an estimated total of 108 million.
However, experts believe that the catch of pink variety salmon is expected to reach as high as 130 million.
Unfortunately, the amount of fish caught is not the only factor determining the number of canned fish produced in 2007.
Five years ago, pink salmon were caught in Alaska, and 75 to 80 percent of the catch was canned.
Now, however, fishermen have a bigger money market, which is to make frozen fillets of the fish they catch for sale.
Demand for this frozen fillet has increased dramatically in China and Europe, reducing canned fish production by about 50-55%.
There are no pink varieties of canned salmon.
As a result, more fish ingredients will be used to produce canned fish in 2007, and the demand for this product is so great that the prices paid by the processors are higher.
In the first quarter of 2007, canned salmon exports to the United States totaled 13,760 tons, down 5% from 1,450 tons exported in the same period in 2006.
Over the same period, canned salmon exports in the United States totaled $5400, up 12% from a year earlier.
In the first three months of 2007, the average price of canned salmon was $3,925 per ton, compared with $3,320 per ton in the same period of 2006.
Canada and Britain, the two countries, are the biggest customers importing canned salmon.
However, the number of canned fish imported from the United States decreased between January and March 2007, and in the same period of 2006 (the first quarter), the two countries imported more because of higher supply.
Contrary to the above, the number of canned fish imported from the United States increased by about 25% in Australia and New Zealand.
The price of canned salmon imported from Australia has risen by 20%, to about $3,750 a tonne, while the price of imported salmon from New Zealand has risen by 30%, to $3,105 a tonne.
However, the prices paid by the two countries are still lower than the average prices paid by the UK and Canada respectively during the same period (from January to March 2007), for example:
The price paid in the UK was $3,950 per ton, while in Canada it was $4,405 per ton.
This shows that the increase in canned salmon imports in Australia and New Zealand is precisely due to the decline in Canadian and British imports, which means that the opposite is true for both countries.
