The production of whole fresh Longnose Spurdog in Italy's capture fisheries is experiencing a downward trend. Starting from an actual production level of €14.5 thousand in 2023, forecasted values show a steady decline: €12.04 thousand in 2024, followed by further decreases each year reaching €6.8 thousand by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with significant percentage drops each year.
Key trends and considerations for the future:
- Reduction in production suggests potential overfishing concerns or changes in demand and regulation.
- Climate change impacts on marine life could further influence catch volumes.
- Possible market shifts towards sustainable fishing practices or alternative seafood options.
