In 2023, whole fresh Atlantic salmon production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Germany stood at a markedly low level, signaling ongoing challenges in maintaining production volumes. Starting in 2024, forecasts predict a consistent decline in production: 0.43 metric tons in 2024, decreasing to 0.30 metric tons by 2028. This indicates a negative compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. Year-on-year decreases are significant, highlighting reduced capture fisheries output.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts to sustainable aquaculture practices mitigating capture declines.
- Adapting to regulatory changes impacting fishing quotas.
- Monitoring ecosystem impacts due to climate change affecting salmon habitats.
