Core Market Overview

In mid-November 2025, the prices of seven key Chinese special aquatic fish species showed significant divergence. Mandarin Fish (鳜鱼), Frozen Longsnout Catfish (江团), and Golden Pomfret (金鲳鱼) saw price increases in Guangdong, while Snakehead Fish (生鱼 / Toman), Yellow Catfish (黄颡鱼), and Hybrid Sturgeon (杂交鲟) declined. Large Mouth Bass (加州鲈) remained stable nationwide.

Key Highlights by Species

 

🔺 Price Increases

Mandarin Fish (鳜鱼) — Guangdong prices rose by 1.1–2 CNY/kg, while other provinces experienced declines of 2.2–5 CNY/kg due to regional supply-demand differences.

Frozen Longsnout Catfish (江团) — Prices increased by 1.1–2 CNY/kg in multiple regions. Fish below 1.5 kg saw tight supply and price increases, while larger fish experienced price drops.

Golden Pomfret (金鲳鱼) — Frozen products of all sizes rose by 500 CNY/ton, with dock prices 6–7 CNY/kg higher than last year, affected by typhoons and disease-related supply shortages.

🔻 Price Declines

Snakehead Fish (生鱼 / Toman) — Supply of new harvests increased while demand weakened. Fish over 1 kg fell by up to 1.6 CNY/kg.

This price drop opens excellent export opportunities. CHF Seafood offers boneless, starched Snakehead Fish Slices (Toman Slice / 黑鱼片) in:
