This year has been tough for the shrimp market and Siam Canadian Managing Director Jim Gulkin predicted this in his 2015 outlook last year.

He told IntraFish at the time they "expect shrimp market to remain weak for much of 2015"and earlier this year, IntraFish reported that the world shrimp market is still lethargic despite low prices. The US market is also still lagging behind despite dropping prices due to the industry recovering from the Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) shrimp disease.
