The Price of Crayfish in Odesa: Why They Reach 2,500 Hryvnias Per Kilogram

Following the end of the breeding ban, crayfish catching has resumed in Odesa, with prices on the "Privoz" market ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 hryvnias per kilogram. High prices are attributed to restrictions, fines for poaching, and the impact of the war. Demand for crayfish traditionally increases in the summer, especially among vacationers at the sea.
