In 2023, UK production of headed gutted fresh Atlantic halibut in capture fisheries for human consumption was recorded at 0.034 metric tons. By 2024, projections indicate a slight increase to 0.036 metric tons. The annual growth rate averages 5.6% until 2028, with forecasts expecting production to reach 0.043 metric tons. This reflects modest yet consistent growth in production volumes year-on-year, signaling a steady increase in demand or improved capture efficiencies.
Trends to observe in the near future include:
- Impact of climate change on halibut availability.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices.
- Market demands and pricing factors affecting production incentive.
