*Fishing Ban in Andhra Pradesh Leads to Sharp Rise in Fish and Prawn Prices* Andhra Pradesh is witnessing a significant surge in fish and prawn prices due to the annual fishing ban enforced from April 15 to June 15, aimed at protecting marine life during the breeding season. The ban has led to a 30-40% increase in prices of various fish varieties, affecting consumers across the state. The Times of India Popular freshwater fish like Rohu (Sheelavathi), Carp (Bangarupapa), and Katla (Bocha), which typically sold for โน160 per kilogram, are now priced between โน200 and โน300 per kilogram, depending on size. Freshwater prawns (Vannamei Shrimp) have seen prices jump from โน300 to โน400 per kilogram. Premium varieties like Koramenu (Red Snapper) and Matta Gidasa have reached โน700 and โน400 per kilogram, respectively, up from โน600 and โน300 just a week ago. The Times of India The scarcity of popular sea fish varieties such as Silver Pomfret (Chanduva), Vanjaram, and Konam (seer fish) has led to their near unavailability in markets. Consequently, hotels and restaurants have either increased prices for seafood dishes or limited their menus to freshwater options. The Times of India Major fishing harbours and landing centres, including those in Visakhapatnam and Kakinada, are experiencing a halt in fishing activities, contributing to the supply shortage. Vendors anticipate further price hikes in the coming days due to rising temperatures affecting fish availability. This situation underscores the need for sustainable fishing practices and better planning to balance marine conservation efforts with consumer demand.

*Seafood Prices Surge in Odisha Amid Two-Month Fishing Ban* Seafood prices have surged in Odishaโs Kendrapada and Jagatsinghpur districts due to a two-month fishing ban from April 15 to June 15. The ban, under the Odisha Marine Fishing Regulation Act, 1982, is aimed at protecting marine life during the peak breeding season of nearly 300 fish species. As fishing activities stop across major harbours like Paradip and Jamboo, prices of popular varieties like pomfret and vetki have jumped by 30% to 60%. Pomfret now sells at โน450/kg (up from โน300), and vetki at โน400/kg (up from โน250). Local markets in Kendrapada, Pattamundai, Rajnagar, and Jagatsinghpur are feeling the pressure, with vendors capitalising on limited supply and cold storage stocks. Swadhin Dash, a local resident, said seafood has become a luxury and unaffordable for middle-class families. The situation underlines the need for sustainable practices and better planning to ensure year-round access to affordable fish without harming marine ecosystems. This seasonal ban plays a key role in conserving marine biodiversity and ensuring future fish availability, though it temporarily affects local markets and livelihoods.

A big step forward is being planned with the creation of a Regional Partnership Agreement (RPA) for shrimp exports from India to the US. India is the largest exporter of shrimp to the US, earning around $2.7 billion in the last financial year. But exporters are facing major challenges. Many shrimp shipments have been rejected in 2025 due to issues like antibiotic residues, labelling mistakes, and hygiene concerns. Also, the 18% tariff under the Trump-era policies is making exports costly. To fix this, a team from the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) visited India earlier this month. They met with the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) on May 5 and 6 to discuss steps for the RPA. This agreement would create a clear protocol and auditing process to improve seafood safety standards and reduce rejections. The plan is to finalize the RPA by the end of 2025, giving Indian shrimp exporters a much-needed boost in the global market.
