“…Several studies have also shown that retailers use their market power to transmit price decreases more than price increases to upstream stages (Fałkowski 2010;Sapkota et al 2015). In addition, our findings in the model where the wholesale price drives the retail price show that wholesale prices could also respond to retail price increases.…”

“…They concluded that the spatial market integration between major shrimp markets appeared to be the least, possibly because of its greater market share outside the country. Similarly, Sapkota et al (2012) investigated the causal and price transmission relationships between wholesale and retail prices for five fish species in Bangladesh. Their results showed that the direction of causality in prices was from retail to wholesale in many of the value chains analyzed, indicating influence of retail price on wholesale price in the Bangladesh fish sector.…”

“…The implication is that retailers possess and exercise greater market power as evidenced by asymmetric price responses. Though many of these studies report asymmetric and imperfect pass through of prices, the evidence is mixed and varies widely across commodities and geographic locations (Aguiar & Santana, 2002;Meyer & von Cramon-Taubadel, 2004;Sapkota et al, 2012;Bakucs et al, 2014;Bukenya & Ssebisubi, 2014). In the fisheries sector, notable studies include Guillen and Fran quesa (2008), Matsui et al (2011), Nakajima et al (2011), Simioni et al (2013), Nielsen et al (2007), Asche et al (2012), Floros (2007).…”

The issue of price linkage in the catfish supply chain in Uganda is important because catfish has become an important traded species with exports to regional markets rising even faster than production, yet limited research has been undertaken to understand the linkages and the non-linearity in the price transmission mechanism. This paper explores the issue using monthly price data from January 2006 to August 2013, and applies threshold autoregressive approaches to test for the existence of a long-run relationship and price asymmetry. The results show that prices in the catfish value chain are tied together by a long-run relationship. It is also revealed that ex-vessel and wholesale price adjustments to retail price changes are symmetric while ex-vessel price adjustments to wholesale price changes are shown to be asymmetric. The direction of causal relationships was observed from the retail to the wholesale and ex-vessel markets, indicating that retailers are the price leaders in the Uganda catfish supply chain.

“…Reference [12] and [13] studied fish price elasticity and transmission between wholesaler and retailer, and concluded that changes in wholesale prices were greater for retail price increases than for retail price decreases. Market interactions between farmed fish and the wild fish have been studied in many countries [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. None of previous studies investigated cointegration of farmed fresh fish with wild frozen fish in the main Egyptian wholesale market.…”

This article investigates the relation between fish supply volumes and sales values in El-Obour wholesale market. The study also examines market cointegration between farmed tilapia and imported wild frozen fish (tilapia, mackerel, Mediterranean horse mackerel, sardine and lizardfish). Regression and Johansen cointegration analysis was used for market data analysis. Market data includes fish sales volume and prices in El-Obour wholesale market in 2012. The results indicate that there is a negative relationship between the volume of farmed tilapia supplied to the market and sales values. Cointegration analysis shows that tilapia grade 1 and 2 prices compete together in market while catfish does not compete with farmed tilapia. Frozen lizardfish and sardines prices are cointegrated with tilapia grades 1 and 2 while tilapia grade 3 competes with lizardfish and Mediterranean horse mackerel, but there was no evidence of market cointegration between catfish and frozen wild fish. The implications are important as increased tilapia supplies to the market leads to declining sales prices. In addition, there is market competition between wild frozen fish and farmed tilapia, however they are not fully integrated. Increasing imports of frozen fish could reduce the selling price of farmed tilapia and negatively influence investment in fish farms.
