The shrimp sellers here at the Fucheng Lianchi Vegetable Market mostly divide green-skin shrimps into two types: green-skin shrimps and red-skin shrimps. Green-skin shrimps have softer shells and more meat, and the price is slightly higher.

Red-skinned shrimps have hard shells and less meat, so they are cheaper.

Overall, the retail price of these shrimps ranges from 18 yuan to 24 yuan per catty, depending on their size.

The daily purchase and shipment volume of crayfish in this market is about 3 tons, while in the same period of previous years, it was 6-7 tons per day. It can be said that sales volume has dropped sharply.

The better shrimps cost more than 6 yuan, and the wholesale price reaches more than 15 yuan/jin. Most of the production areas come from local places such as Taihe, Funan, Yingshang, and Huoqiu in the province.
