Capelin Prices 2007

After considering submissions from FFAW/CAW and the Association of Seafood Producers, the Standing Fish Price-Setting Panel has selected the FFAW/CAW’s proposal for capelin prices for the 2007 fishery.

Prices in effective for the 2007 season:

50 count per kilo and under – 16 cents per pound

51 – 55 count per kilo – 12 cents per pound

Minimum 40% usable females

Maximum 10% feed content

Where the above conditions are not met or the count exceeds 55, the price shall be as determined between the individual harvester and processor.
