In 2023, the production of gutted fresh grey gurnard in the UK stood at approximately 0.19 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in production. Year-on-year analysis indicates a decrease of about 5.6% in 2024, followed by a consistent forecasted decline until 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years highlights a negative growth trend, pointing to reduced capture fisheries output for this species.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impacts of regulations and sustainability measures in UK fisheries.
- Changing consumer preferences influencing market demand.
- Technological advances in fishing methods affecting capture rates.
- Environmental factors such as climate change affecting marine populations.
