The production of fresh surf clams in capture fisheries in the UK shows a sharp decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting from a value of 15.01 thousand euros in 2024, the forecast indicates a significant year-on-year decrease, plunging to 2.49 thousand euros by 2028. This denotes a substantial reduction trend, characterized by an average annual decline, suggesting limited regrowth potential in the coming years.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of environmental changes on clam habitats and populations.
Potential regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and practices in the UK.
Developments in consumer demand for seafood, particularly any shifts toward sustainable and locally-sourced products.
