In 2023, Norway led European Whole Fresh Picked Dogfish production with 36.15 metric tons, although facing a year-on-year decline of 17.53%. Italy and Bulgaria followed, with Italy showing stability and Bulgaria experiencing significant growth. Meanwhile, Croatia showed modest growth, and the UK saw a slight decline. Minor players like Romania and Denmark exhibited small gains, whereas countries like Portugal and the Netherlands faced declines. Over the last five years, Bulgaria has been a standout, while Norway's production has faced challenges.
Looking ahead, future trends may include increased adoption of sustainable fishing practices, potential regulatory changes impacting the supply chain, and shifts in consumer preferences influencing demand across Europe. Monitoring Norway’s production recovery attempts and Bulgaria's growth strategy will be crucial for stakeholders.
