    South Korea has a large per capita consumption of aquatic products
    .
    As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, the prices of aquatic products that South Korea is highly dependent on Russian imports have also risen .
    Among them, most of the minnows commonly eaten by South Koreans are imported from Russia.
    Recently, the price trend of this aquatic product has attracted the attention of South Korean consumers .
     
    As one of the most consumed aquatic products in Korea, minnow is processed and cooked in a variety of ways
    .
     
    The bagged dried minnow in the reporter's hand is made from fresh fish after drying and other processes.
    It is a favorite appetizer of the Korean people
    .
    This product is currently priced at 7,500 won, or about 40 yuan.
    Compared with the previous price of less than 6,000 won for dried minnow, many consumers said it was a bit expensive
    .
    Another example is the frozen minnow, which is often used to make soup.
    The current retail and wholesale prices have also increased by more than 10% and 20% respectively compared with a week ago
    .
     
    Korea has always had a tradition of eating mantae
    .
    However, due to overfishing in recent years, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of South Korea has issued a long-term ban on fishing, and the supply of minnows in the past two years has mainly relied on imports
    .
    Among them, the Russian-produced minnow accounted for about 90% of the imports
    .
    In fact, Russia is South Korea's second largest importer of aquatic products.
    Affected by the recent situation in Russia and Ukraine, many kinds of seafood in the South Korean aquatic product market are facing the risk of short supply
    .
    Prices of Russian-produced cod, king crab and other seafood are also under pressure
    .
     
    At the same time, the price of salmon  imported from northern Europe has also soared under the pressure of air freight
    .
    Some European airlines are flying salmon to South Korea through detours to avoid affected routes
    .
    In the context of the recent surge in international oil prices, longer flight times have further pushed up transportation costs
    .
    In the past week, the price of imported salmon in South Korea has soared by about 60%
    .
    Some sashimi shops had to remove their signature "Norwegian salmon" from their menus, and restaurants eliminated salmon salads
    .
     
      Currently, retailers in South Korea are closely monitoring the supply and demand of imported aquatic products
    .
    The three major supermarket chains said that the inventory of Russian-produced aquatic products can still be maintained for a period of time, but if the situation persists for a long time, the possibility of out-of-stocks cannot be ruled out
    .
    Relevant departments of the Korean government are monitoring the price trend of aquatic products and plan to activate emergency reserves if necessary
    .
    The Korean government also stated that the aquaculture industry gathers many small and medium-sized enterprises from import and export to processing and sales
