Black Tiger Shrimp Season in Bangladesh and EU Market Sales

Black Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is a popular seafood product in Bangladesh, and the season recently started with good bookings and sales for the EU market. The New Moon catching period, which begins on March 22, is a time when catches are significantly better. Despite this increased catch volume, prices for block frozen Black Tiger shrimp (CFR EU), headless and shell-on, are more or less the same price as last season. In W12, prices range from USD 6.50/lb for sizes 13–15 to USD 4.00/lb for sizes 41–50.
