In 2023, the production value of Fresh American Plaice and long Rough Dab in the UK's capture fisheries for human consumption was the baseline for forecasting the subsequent years, standing at a historic low point. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 reveal anticipated steady growth, with year-on-year increases averaging around 6.2%.
