In 2023, whole fresh red gurnard production in capture fisheries in Italy stood at 68.6 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline: 61.7 metric tons in 2024, 54.7 in 2025, 47.7 in 2026, 40.8 in 2027, and 34 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 10% from 2024 to 2025, and similar descending patterns through subsequent years. The 5-year compound annual growth rate reflects a negative trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental changes and their impact on fish populations.
- Shifts in regulatory frameworks affecting capture fisheries.
- Technological advancements in fishing practices potentially enhancing or harming yields.
- Alterations in market demand driven by consumer preferences for sustainable sources.
