In 2023, the fresh Thornback Ray production in capture fisheries in the UK stood at 1.39 thousand metric tons. The forecasted figures suggest a stable increase from 2024 through 2028, with production expected to rise gradually, reaching 1.59 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth is consistent at approximately 2.8%, indicating a steady upward trend in production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of environmental regulations and sustainable fishing practices on production levels.
- Potential shifts in market demand influencing production priorities.
- The effect of climate change on marine life which could affect stock health and availability.
