The gutted fresh Shagreen Ray production in the UK’s capture fisheries for human consumption is on a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The forecast indicates a reduction from 2.48 metric tons in 2024 to 1.05 metric tons in 2028. This downturn reveals a significant year-on-year decrease in production volume. The percentage change from one year to the next underscores an accelerating decline, with notable reductions between 2026 and 2028. From 2023's actual data, the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further illustrates this decreasing trajectory over a five-year period.
