In 2023, Cyprus led European total white seabream production in capture fisheries for human consumption, valued at 18.31 thousand euros per metric ton, followed by Croatia, Malta, and Italy. Croatia and Italy saw declines of 3.25% and 4.36% respectively, whereas countries like France, Greece, and Portugal experienced modest increases. The Netherlands had the lowest value among the listed nations.
Forecasts indicate a declining trend in countries with the largest production, while smaller producers could see an upward shift, driven by initiatives in sustainable fishing and demand for healthier food options. Observing ecological impacts like climate change and overfishing will be crucial.
Future trends to watch include:
- Shifts towards sustainable fishing practices.
- Changes in consumer preferences favoring healthier seafood.
- Impacts of climate change on fish populations.
- Regulatory policies influencing capture fisheries.
