Additional firming was also noted in U12 through 16-20 count HLSO white shrimp where supplies continue to erode. PUD's were firm across the board. Shortages are developing in many sizes and prospects of replacement are thin. Landings in the Gulf region continue to run well above last year. According to the NMFS, U.S. Gulf domestic shrimp landings for October 2009 totaled 15.799 million lbs. (headless weight) compared to 13.931 million in October 2008. This brings the 2009 cumulative total to 114.641 million lbs., or roughly 40 percent above the same period last year.

Urner Barry's Black Tiger Shrimp Index
11/19/2009:
The Black Tiger Shrimp Index is $5.09; +.02
The headless, shell-on (HLSO) shrimp index is a measure of general conditions in the shrimp market. It is not a reflection of any single item. Urner Barry historically tracks all of our market quotations which should be consulted for individual items.
The shrimp index is calculated using an average of Urner Barry market quotations; additionally the quotes are weighted based on the import volume of each count size. Shell-on shrimp imports from the Black Tiger producing countries and White producing countries of Thailand and Indonesia have been edited in order to reflect those countries significant shift in production from Black Tiger to P. vannamei. Shrimp imports from other countries are divided into either Black Tiger or White producing countries.
The bottom chart represents the weight, in million pounds, of monthly shell-on shrimp imports.

Urner Barry's Fresh Farmed Salmon Index
11/19/2009:
The Fresh Farmed Salmon Index is $3.72; +.01
The top chart represents Urner Barry's Salmon Index. This index is calculated using Urner Barry market quotations listed in Urner Barry’s Seafood Price-Current. Those quotations are then weighted, based on the average amount of product imported for whole fish and fillets.
The bottom chart represents the weight, in million pounds, of monthly imports of Chilean Fillets, European Fillets, Northeast Whole East, European Whole, and Seattle Whole West.
Note: Urner Barry's Fresh Farmed Salmon Index is an indication of the combined average value for Chilean fillets, European fillets, Northeast wholefish, European wholefish, and West Coast wholefish. It institutes a weighted value of each commodity as a proportion of the total supply from the producing areas. For example, if Chilean fillets represent 60% of the total, West Coast wholefish 25% and North Atlantic wholefish 15%, the value of each commodity would be weighted accordingly. This index is intended to be viewed as a snapshot of the general health of the fresh farmed salmon market in the United States.
