The forecast for whole fresh sharks, rays, and skates fish production in capture fisheries in Italy shows a positive growth trajectory from 2024 to 2028, with the value expected to increase from 5.87 to 6.37 thousand euros per metric ton. This represents a steady year-on-year growth in value, averaging around 2% annually over the forecast period. As of 2023, the value was slightly lower, setting the stage for this upward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Regulatory changes in fisheries management that may impact capture rates and production costs.
Shifts in consumer demand for sustainable and locally-sourced seafood could influence market dynamics.
Impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity, potentially affecting fish populations and availability.
