The production of whole fresh whiting fish in capture fisheries in the UK is predicted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production was recorded at 8.85 thousand metric tons, and projections indicate incremental increases each year reaching 9.24 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 0.9% from 2023. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is expected to be around 0.87%, showcasing a stable and moderate growth trend for the UK's whiting fish production.

Future trends to watch for:

Factors influencing capture fisheries such as climate change, quotas, and sustainable fishing practices which might impact production volumes.
Developments in technology and techniques that could potentially increase yield efficiency.
Market demand shifts, particularly influenced by consumer preferences towards sustainable and local produce.
Regulatory changes post-Brexit that might alter the landscape of fisheries management in the UK waters.
