"This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to providing the seafood industry with greater visibility and access to reliable pricing data across a growing number of species and product forms," said Tom Seaman, editor-in-chief and owner of UCN. "With input from those deeply embedded in the US seafood trade, our reporting team continually adapts coverage to reflect the most relevant and high-impact areas of the market."

The US wholesale coverage now spans major categories, including shrimp, lobster, crab, groundfish, farmed whitefish, scallops, cephalopods and salmon, providing subscribers with actionable insights at both a transactional and trend-based level.

Commitment to transparency and methodology

All assessments are underpinned by UCN's IOSCO-aligned methodology, combining verified trades, spot market-level bids and offers, and input from experienced stakeholders across the supply chain.

As the platform continues to evolve, UCN remains focused on delivering transparency, timeliness, and integrity in seafood price reporting. With the next wave of expansion, subscribers will gain deeper access to price points that reflect the diversity and complexity of the US seafood market today.

In the coming weeks, UCN will be announcing coverage dates for Mediterranean seabass, seabream and wild salmon.
