Lobster Prices on the Rise

Increased demand & end of season causes a price hike…

 Mexico’s fluctuating exchange rate, and increased demand have caused prices for lobster to increase sharply. Lobster tails are now being sold by the Cozumel Fishermen’s Cooperative at $700 pesos/kilo and whole lobster at $400 pesos/kilo. As the season nears a close, and demand remains high, it is possible there will be another increase before season’s end.

Fishing season for Panulirus argus, also known as the Caribbean spiny lobster, will come  to end on the last day in February, until July 1st.  This hiatus is to take into account their breeding season.

La constante fluctuación en el tipo de cambio y la gran demanda hicieron que el precio de la langosta se incrementara drásticamente. El precio de las colas de langosta adquiridas a través de la Cooperativa de Pesca e Cozumel es $700 pesos/kilo, y la langosta entera está a $400 pesos/kilo. Conforme la temporada llega a su fin y la demanda se mantiene alta, es posible que se aplique otro aumento antes de que la temporada llegue a su fin.

 

La temporada de pesca de la Panulirus argus, también conocida como langosta espinosa del Caribe, finalizará el ultimo día de Febrero, hasta el 1º de julio. Este receso se realiza para considerar su época de apareamiento.

An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weekly Cozumel 4 You news, social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean. ______________________________ Una ex yanqui de Connecticut quien llama hogar a Cozumel desde hace más de 15 años.
