In 2023, Iceland led European Fresh Northern Prawn Production in Capture Fisheries with 3.15 thousand metric tons, although it saw a slight year-on-year decline of 6.56%. Denmark followed at 1.94 thousand metric tons, experiencing a significant 12.13% increase. Sweden and Italy also contributed with 0.41089 and 0.2004 thousand metric tons respectively, showing mixed year-on-year variations of -3.13% for Sweden and 14.63% for Italy. Spain's production dropped sharply by 36.13% to 0.00634 thousand metric tons. The United Kingdom recorded a 34.61% increase to 0.00073 thousand metric tons, while Ireland declined by 26.13% to 0.00055 thousand metric tons. France (0.0004 thousand metric tons) and Germany (2.0e-06 thousand metric tons) witnessed minimal or negligible production figures.
Going forward, key trends to watch for include technological developments in capture fisheries, impacts of climate change on prawn habitats, and the effectiveness of sustainable fishing practices. Monitoring regulatory changes in the EU related to fisheries is also critical, as they can significantly impact production volumes across countries.
