In 2023, the total Mediterranean moray production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy stood at 144.3 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady increase in production from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 146.5 metric tons in 2024 to 152.8 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations show modest growth, averaging between 1% and 1.5% per year. This growth trend highlights a consistent increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years of approximately 1.4%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental factors, such as climate change, on fish populations, and the role of sustainable fishing practices. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences and regulations may influence production dynamics.
