The European total Atlantic cod production in capture fisheries shows Iceland as a leading producer with 318.1 thousand metric tons, followed by Norway with 277.41 thousand metric tons. Slight year-on-year growth was observed in Iceland, while Norway experienced a mild contraction. Significant declines were reported by Denmark and France, while robust growth was noted in the Netherlands. In 2023, the UK's contribution was minimal but stable, and smaller nations like Finland showed positive growth despite their low production volumes.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential increased production in Iceland and improved efficiency in Norway.
- Ongoing shifts in fisheries management policies across the EU affecting regional outputs.
- Climate change impacts on cod stocks, influencing fishing quotas and regional yields.
