In 2023, Poland led European flounder production in capture fisheries, valued at €3.22 million. Germany and the Netherlands followed, with €0.63 million and €0.44 million, respectively. Notable year-on-year variations include a decline in Poland's production by 11.5% and significant reductions in Denmark and Lithuania. Conversely, Sweden's production increased by 12.92%, and Estonia, Portugal, and Spain experienced modest growth. Bulgaria had the lowest production value.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts toward sustainable fishing practices across Europe, which could affect production levels. Additionally, changes in climate and regulations may drive further country-specific variations in flounder capture fisheries.
