In 2023, the United Kingdom led European countries in gutted fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras production, with 1.5 thousand metric tons, despite a year-on-year decline of 2.81%. France closely followed, also experiencing a slight reduction of 1.13%. Notably, Iceland and Norway registered an increase, with Iceland up by 7.3% and Norway by 7.84%. Conversely, Denmark saw a significant decrease of 7.01%, and smaller declines were noted in the Netherlands and Spain.
Looking ahead, attention should be on sustainable practices and regulatory changes impacting capture fisheries. Climate change effects and shifting consumer preferences may further influence production trends across Europe.
