Like-for-like position against ports selling the same species
Competitive Position Market average is calculated from ports selling the same species today — your port is excluded from the average. Data varies by port: Peterhead shares price ranges only (no volume), Brixham and Newlyn share prices with weight, Lerwick shares prices with volume but no minimums, Scrabster shares price ranges with box counts. Grade systems differ, so we compare top-grade averages. Species where you're the only port reporting are shown separately.

Reading Competitive Position

The scoreboard at the top shows how many species you have the best UK price for, how many are above market, and how many are below market.

In the per-species bar chart, the red marker shows the UK average across all ports. Your bar shows where you land. A Best UK badge means you have the highest price in the country for that species today.

Click any species row to expand it and see which specific ports you're ahead of or behind.
Smart Alerts

Smart Alerts automatically flag four types of event:

New Species — a species appeared that wasn't in yesterday's data.
Species Gap — a species you normally sell is missing from today's data.
Market Position — you've moved above or below the UK average for a key species.

Check alerts each morning before the auction. No action needed — they're informational only.
