    I would very much like to receive information on representative
    cuttlefish prices from around the world. It doesn't matter so much the
    species or what the product form is or if the price is to the fisherman,
    retail, wholesale etc as long as I know that the price represents a
    particular product form at a particular level in the chain.

    I despair at the waste of cuttlefish locally. Our fishermen cannot sell
    it as seafood and it is being relegated to bait for £0.35 (pound
    Sterling) per kilo. It is a terrible waste of a delicious food. Our
    cuttlefish landings are being used primarily for conger eel bait.

    I need some market intelligence to improve the situation.

    Thank you very much to the many helpful people who responded to my
request for information on a temperature probe.  I did order one from a
Dutch company called Gullimex, which was recommended to me by someone on
this list.  I am also receiving useful information from other companies
for future supplies. Thank you for the generous help.

    Best Wishes,
Yours sincerely, 
Richard
