In 2023, Spain led European Greater Weever capture at 26.47 metric tons, followed by France at 22.03, and Denmark at 21.4. Notably, Denmark saw a 64.52% increase, while the Netherlands grew by 33.57%. Conversely, Portugal's share decreased by 6.96%. Over five years, Denmark experienced significant growth, driven by enhanced fishing techniques, juxtaposing stable or declining productions in countries like Italy and the UK. Greece, Belgium, and Slovenia exhibited modest gains.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements and regulatory changes influencing capture fisheries. Spain, the Netherlands, and Denmark may capitalize on sustainable practices to maintain or expand their shares.
