What is the Seafood Market pricing determined upon?

Is it affected by how good the crabbing is in Alaska or wherever?
or perhaps does Wall Street's numbers play a role in it?

Supply and demand. If the crab catch is low, the purveyors will want more money for each crab. If they had a bumper catch, then the daily market price will be lower.

Right now Dungeness crab is in season and the prices have plummeted.

Quantity, type of seafood, and overhead expenses of the fishermen.
