As of 2023, the total European Conger production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK stood at an unknown baseline, as the 2023 figure is not provided. From 2024 onwards, the production is forecasted to decline gradually from 125.43 metric tons in 2024 to 110.05 metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 3.16% from 2024 to 2025, followed by further decreases in subsequent years at similar rates. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is indicative of a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of environmental policies, changes in marine ecosystems affecting Conger eel habitats, and shifts in fishery management practices. Additionally, market demand fluctuations and advancements in aquaculture technologies that could alter capture fishery contributions should be monitored.
