World skipjack tuna prices remain mixed

The article discusses the impact of adverse weather conditions on tuna catches in the Western Pacific, potentially leading to lower prices set by Thai canneries. In contrast, a fishing moratorium in the Eastern Pacific from late July to mid-October has kept prices stable at $1,400 per tonne, with expectations of increases. The moratorium has driven Western Pacific vessels to offload in Latin America, and European buyers report stable skipjack prices in Spain at €1,550 per tonne. However, prices in the Indian Ocean and Atlantic are lower.
