In the 7th week of 2025 (10th to 13th February), China's squid market offers were clearly divided: Southeast Pacific squid and Indian Ocean squid prices showed an upward trend, with Southeast Pacific species becoming the focus of the market due to the reduction of stocks and the rebound of demand; Southwest Atlantic squid (offline) and Northwest Pacific squid maintained stable prices.
