Forecasts for the UK capture fisheries scallops and pectens production indicate a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with an incremental rise from 72.403 million Euros to 72.957 million Euros. This trend represents modest year-on-year growth rates, suggesting a stable yet slow-paced expansion in production value. As of 2023, the production value stood slightly lower, reflecting a consistent upward trend.
