Canadian frozen seafood giant High Liner expects to see price stability for its main species over the "next several quarters," although top-line sales are likely to suffer from the loss of a shrimp contract.

"We feel very confident that the impact costs will remain stable for the foreseeable future, certainly for the next several quarters," High Liner CEO Rod Hepponstall told analysts during a conference call on Thursday.

This view is supported by Canadian rival Clearwater Seafoods, which said it expects to see price stability and strengthening demand in 2020 across all regions in announcing its third-quarter results earlier this week.
