The forecast for the whole fresh Atlantic halibut production in capture fisheries in the UK indicates a continued decline. From 2024 to 2028, the production volume is expected to decrease each year, from 0.88 metric tons in 2024 to 0.32 metric tons in 2028. Compared to 2023, this downward trend represents a significant reduction in production, with an approximate CAGR of -25% over this period. Year-on-year decreases are notable, averaging approximately -19% annually, driven by factors like overfishing and environmental pressures.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes aimed at sustainable fishing practices, developments in aquaculture alternatives, and shifts in consumer demand that could influence production levels.
