Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of climate change on mussel habitats and productivity.
- Regulatory changes affecting marine capture fisheries in the European Union.
- Market demand pressures linked to changing consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood.
- Technological innovations in aquaculture and capture methodologies that may influence costs and yield improvements.
