Squid Prices Swing Wildly as Industry Shifts Sharply—Where Is the Market Heading?

**

**

As resource fluctuations in global squid fishing grounds occur frequently and fishing controls continue to tighten, the global industry chain is being reshuffled. China's distant-water squid jigging annual catch exceeds one million tons, and its industry chain covers major fishing grounds and markets worldwide, with an influence that can no longer be ignored. Under the global pattern of "tightening resources, stricter regulation, and stabilizing demand," how should Chinese companies position themselves? How should trade be restructured?

Currently, squid prices continue to fluctuate, quotas change frequently, fishing strength alternates, and the domestic market is under pressure... The squid industry in 2025 is at a crossroads.

On October 31, the 2025 International Squid Industry Summit Forum will be grandly held during the Qingdao International Fisheries Expo!

📍 Time: October 31, 2025 (Friday) 📍 Location: Qingdao, China
