In 2023, the production of headed gutted fresh dab in Germany's capture fisheries stood at 0.053 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 0.049 metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 0.025 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a steady average decline of approximately 15% from 2024 to 2028. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reveals an average annual reduction of around 14.4%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of sustainable fishing practices, regulatory changes in the EU impacting quotas, and shifts in market demand for alternative fish species, which may further influence capture fisheries production in Germany. Additionally, climate change effects on marine ecosystems might alter availability and productivity of dab species in the upcoming years.
