The UK's lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption is projected to decline steadily over the next five years. The forecasted trend shows a decrease from 6.38 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 5.43 thousand metric tons in 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a notable downward trajectory.
