The price of seafood is soaring in the boiling sea.

There is even a complaint online that autumn is hard to find gizzard shad in season,
Let's take a closer look at the so-called "fishflation," which was caused by a heat wave that lasted until the fall of
and reduced catches.

This fall, seafood prices have jumped two or three times from a year ago.

According to the weekly fishery product trend of Suhyup Noryangjin Fisheries, the price of gizzard shad, a major fish species in autumn, increased 184 percent from a year ago.

The crab went up more.

The price of sea urchin is as much as 219%,

And the prices of natural flatfish and natural sea bass, which are sashimi frequented by consumers, also rose 91% and 81%, respectively.

The reason why the price of seafood is rising is because our sea is getting hot.

As the water temperature rose, fish species living in our sea moved to other areas, and the catch decreased accordingly.

This year's high-temperature special report period is 71 days, the longest ever.

It lasted from July to the beginning of this month, a clear autumn season,
According to the
National Institute of Fisheries Science, the average water temperature on the southern coast from the 5th to the 11th was 24.2 degrees Celsius, 2.2 degrees higher than the average year.

As the sea heats up like this, the death of fish and shellfish is also increasing rapidly.

Until last week, more than 300 million mussels died, and oysters also died eight times more than last year.

As abalone shipments have decreased, fishermen are deeply worried.Fisheries products that have been overshadowed by the word

'Steel', may be hard to see on the table for a while.
