QUESTION:
Anyone knows the current prices of Mediterranean sea bream fry?
I heard that there has been a big drop in price this year, compared with last year. Any truth to the rumor? Any reasons for the price drop?

COMMENTS 1:
According to our information the current price is around 1.75 French Francs per fingerling delivered to Greece.
We think the reason for this drop in price is because Italian hatcheries have been overproducing and there has also been a fall in exchange rates concerning the Drachma.
