In 2023, Iceland dominated European whole fresh cods, hakes, and haddocks production with 46.77 metric tons, showing a slight increase of 0.92% year-on-year. Norway and Spain were the second and third-largest producers, both experiencing significant declines of 20.11% and 5.33%, respectively. While smaller producers like Belgium and Bulgaria saw increases, countries like Germany and Lithuania faced significant declines.
Future trends to watch include Iceland’s continued leadership with steady growth. Attention should be on Norway's performance to see if it recovers, and on smaller nations like Denmark and Bulgaria as they expand their production shares. Increasing awareness of sustainable fishing practices may influence industry dynamics.
