Reading today's numbers

Price history
The per-shrimp market median for Pinto Shrimp has held steady across all 50 days we've tracked it. That's normal here: US dwarf shrimp prices hold still rather than drifting — genuine repricings are vanishingly rare across the whole index (we measured this across the whole market) — so today's numbers above are a dependable benchmark, not a snapshot of a jittery market.
