In 2023, the production of fresh Atlantic mackerel in capture fisheries in Italy was 321.7 metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 predict a stable output at the same level of 321.7 metric tons. However, the subsequent years show a significant downward trend, with production expected to decline by 21% in 2025 to 254 metric tons. By 2026, production is projected to fall further by 25.7% to 188.8 metric tons. The downward trend continues sharply in 2027 with a decrease of 33.3% to 126 metric tons, and it is anticipated to plummet by 48% in 2028, reaching just 65.5 metric tons.

Key Future Trends to Watch for:

Impact of regulatory changes on fishing quotas aimed at sustainability.
Climate change effects on fish migration patterns and spawning grounds.
Technological advancements in fishing practices influencing efficiency and catch levels.
