The forecast for fresh European plaice production in the UK capture fisheries shows a downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 2.19 thousand metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decline to 1.85 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, where production was slightly higher, this represents a steady decrease.
Year-on-year variations indicate a gradual reduction of around 4-5% annually. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a consistent decline in production volumes.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of environmental regulations, changes in consumer demand, and technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices, which could influence production levels and the health of plaice populations.
