 The East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea will enter summer fishing moratorium from 12 o’clock, 1st June to 12 o’clock, 1st September.

One farmer sold two crabs at an unit price of 100 yuan. Some farmers caught a few yellow croakers and yellow-head catfish. But their price doubled that the fishes were bought by customers at 45 yuan/jin in no time.

Mr. Wang, a local buyers who owns a small restaurant in Tianhengdao, said that the fish price was no so high several days ago but the price had just doubled because of the upcoming fishing moratorium. He would still purchase some fishes with high price because of there was market demand.
