ANALYSIS: El Niño, Light Inventories, and Tariffs Set the Stage for C&SA's 2026–2027 Mahi Season

The Central and South American mahi industry is entering the 2026–2027 fishing season under a unique set of market conditions. Inventories remain lean following two consecutive seasons of below-normal production, while replacement costs continue to hold near historically elevated levels. Although U.S. imports improved during the 2025–2026 season, much of that increase represented a recovery from an exceptionally weak prior year rather than a return to historically abundant supply. As a result, buyers enter the new season with little inventory...

Chilean Salmon's Biggest Tariff Hurdle Yet as Section 301 Takes Effect

Chilean salmon will now face a 12.5% tariff when entering the United States following the Trump administration's latest tariff actions, which went into effect on July 24. The move is significant for the industry, which supplies over 40% of the salmon consumed in the US.

The new Section 301 tariffs mark the most significant tariff hurdle for the Chilean salmon sector yet, raising the rate from the 10% that had applied throughout President Trump's earlier trade actions. The determination stems from a US Trade Representative finding that Chile lacks...

The Winding Glass: What Alaska Has Lost

In 2016, Alaska fishermen received an average of 40 cents per pound for their catch (in 2025 dollars). In 2024, they got 27 cents, a 32% decline in real terms. Alaska's other resource industry, oil, saw its price rise 30% in real terms over the same period.

These are not just the actions of commodity markets. Seafood lost a third of its real value, a fifth of its processing plants, and most of its mid-sized owners. The losses did not fall evenly along the supply chain. Total wholesale sales fell by only...
