The production forecast for filleted fresh European conger in UK capture fisheries demonstrates a gradual upward trend from 2024 to 2028, starting from 0.27 metric tons in 2024 and reaching 0.33 metric tons by 2028. Compared to previous years, this indicates a steady rise, with a year-on-year increase as follows: approximately 3.70% from 2024 to 2025, around 7.14% from 2025 to 2026, roughly 6.67% from 2026 to 2027, and about 3.13% from 2027 to 2028.
In 2023, the production stood at a slightly lower level, which suggests a positive growth trajectory over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects moderate growth as an average yearly increase over the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences of climate change on marine biodiversity, regulatory changes in fishing quotas, and market demand for fresh seafood, which could impact production dynamics. Sustainability practices and technological advancements in fishing and processing may also play pivotal roles. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for understanding broader market implications on UK fisheries.
