In 2023, France led European Pollack capture fisheries, significantly outperforming other countries. The United Kingdom followed, albeit with a slight decline. Norway and Denmark maintained moderate activities, while Spain saw a slight increase. The Netherlands and Germany showed remarkable growth rates. Conversely, Belgium and Sweden experienced notable declines. Portugal exhibited impressive growth, though from a smaller base, and Ireland observed minor growth.
Looking forward, increasing focus on sustainable fishing practices may affect production trends. Economic factors, such as Brexit's ongoing impact, and environmental considerations like climate change and fish stock levels, will be key influencers in the future dynamics of pollack fisheries in Europe.
