Mr. Wu, who runs a seafood restaurant in Heping Road, Ji'nan, said that there had been more seafood in recent times and restaurants were doing a good job. "When the weather is hot, Ji'nan's barbecue stalls and seafood stalls will instantly become active. In recent days, with the increase of temperature, customers who come to the restaurant to eat seafood are much better than before. Recently, the business is very good. The boss of Wu said with a smile. Xie Jun, director general of the general manager of Ji'nan seafood market management company, said that the implementation of the "eight regulations" has a significant impact on the seafood market, especially the high-end seafood market, and the sales decline obviously. "In April, sales increased significantly, compared with March, an increase of about 20%-30%." Xie Jun said that the seafood market in Ji'nan will gradually enter a peak sales season in mid 4 every year. This year's growth is relatively high compared with previous years, and another reason is the impact of avian flu. "The threat of avian influenza makes many citizens dare not eat poultry meat. Seafood has become a new choice for a lot of citizens. This is a bad effect, but it is still obvious."
sales volume is rising, but seafood prices are very stable in the near future. Xie Jun explained that at present, Ji'nan's seafood is mainly from the province, the production of seafood continues to rise, supply is sufficient, so the price will not increase in the near future, but also may appear a trend of steady decline. During the interview, many seafood traders reminded that many sea areas, including Shandong, should enter the fishing season in June 1st, and the supply and demand of the seafood market will change. According to previous experience, the possibility of rising seafood prices is very high.
