In 2023, the production of whole fresh leerfish in capture fisheries in Italy stood at 69.8 metric tons. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, production is projected to grow incrementally, from 70 metric tons in 2024 to 70.6 metric tons in 2028. This indicates a very modest year-on-year increase ranging from 0.29% to 0.14%, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.23%.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of climate change on marine environments, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and advancements in fishing technology that could improve yields or decrease operational costs.
