In 2023, France led European Fresh Pollack production in capture fisheries with 30.61 metric tons, followed by the United Kingdom at 23.76 metric tons, Ireland at 12.99 metric tons, and Denmark at 12.08 metric tons. Notable trends showed France and the UK experiencing declines of 5.54% and 4.63%, respectively, while Germany had a substantial increase of 30.34%. Conversely, Norway saw a significant decline of 20.53%, and Sweden decreased by 33.14%. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years reflects general stabilization across most countries, with some volatility in smaller producers.
Future trends suggest monitoring Norway and Sweden for potential recovery, alongside tracking growth in Germany and improvements in Portugal. Additionally, shifts in market demand and fishing policies may influence overall production dynamics, reflecting broader environmental and economic factors in Europe's fisheries sector.
