European seabass & gilthead seabream — market benchmark

Supply anchored on EU imports from third countries (EUMOFA, weekly) · demand anchored on Mercato Ittico di Milano (weekly), Italy being the largest consumption market
 
Reading these figures: this is a weekly benchmark. No source in this species pair publishes a genuine daily price — Milano is published weekly, Rungis carries its last quote forward for months at a time, and Mercamadrid's price only resolves at monthly range. Each card below states the period its figure belongs to.
Benchmark — EU import unit value
EUMOFA, fresh whole fish, CIF at the EU border. Weekly. Partial weeks are excluded, not plotted.
Where the fish is priced — 400–600 g, latest available
The only size class all three wholesale markets quote. Each row states its own source, period and product definition; the figures are not adjusted onto a common date.

Data sources
EUMOFA — weekly EU imports from third countries, CN 03028410 (seabass) and 03028530 (gilthead seabream), fresh whole. Import unit value (CIF), not a market price. Back-filled for several weeks, so recent weeks are flagged incomplete and withheld.
Eurostat COMEXT — monthly Greek exports and EU imports from Türkiye, the true-up against the weekly series. Roughly 6–7 weeks in arrears and revised.
Sogemi / Mercato Ittico di Milano — weekly wholesale bulletin (Tuesdays), farmed fresh, by origin and size class. Prevalente price with min–max band.
RNM / FranceAgriMer, MIN de Rungis — wholesale quotations, farmed only. Published daily but changes rarely; shown with the date each quote last moved.
Mercamadrid — Mercado Central de Pescados. Monthly price (precio más frecuente) with daily traded volume; origin split from the Madrid open-data release.
ECB — euro reference rates. Only EUR and USD are published on this site.
Customs figures on this page are import unit values (CIF) — total declared value divided by declared net weight for the codes listed. They are not transaction prices and include freight and insurance to the EU border. Wholesale figures are the quotations the named market publishes for its own product definitions and size buckets; those buckets are not forced onto a common definition. USD conversions use the ECB reference rate for each observation's own period, never a single spot rate applied across history.
