Despite Chinese authorities pointing to Ecuadorian shrimp as a coronavirus carrier, the market for the species may not be rattled in the same as salmon for cultural reasons, Jiro Takeuchi, director of EU shrimp business Bonmea Finest Foods told IntraFish.
"Salmon is not culturally a Chinese product, whereas people are used to eating shrimp that won't change," Takeuchi said. "The issue won't have a long-term effect on the product."
