The forecasted production of whole frozen aquatic animals in the UK’s capture fisheries for human consumption indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 721.96 Euros per metric ton and decreasing to 696.23 Euros per metric ton. This represents an average annual decrease of approximately 0.90% over the five-year period. In 2023, the value stood at a slightly higher rate, setting the stage for this downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential advancements in sustainable fishing practices that can impact production costs and market prices.
Regulatory changes within the UK and EU fisheries policies affecting supply.
Shifts in consumer demand towards alternative seafood sources, impacting production volumes.
