In 2023, Spain led European Fresh Atlantic Bluefin Tuna production at 4.04 thousand metric tons, up 4.29% year-on-year. Italy followed closely with 3.98 thousand metric tons but saw a slight downturn of 0.64%. France increased by 9.23% to reach 0.83 thousand metric tons, while Greece and Portugal also saw growth, at 8.11% and 10.71% respectively. Noteworthy surges were observed in Norway (63.4%) and Ireland (32.89%), reflecting dynamic shifts in production capabilities. Conversely, Malta experienced a decrease of 5.03%.
Future trends to monitor include the potential for further expansion in Norway and emerging markets due to favorable climatic and economic conditions, alongside sustainability measures limiting growth in densely fished regions.
