The production of fresh wrasses and hogfishes in capture fisheries in the UK is forecasted to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production stood at a higher level than the projected figure for 2024 at 17.58 metric tons. The projected year-on-year decrease is consistent, averaging about a 3.9% decline each year. Over five years, this reflects a compound annual growth rate indicating consistent downward trends in production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Environmental impacts on fish populations, potentially affecting capture quantities further.
Changes in regulatory policies aimed at sustainable fishing practices that may alter production levels.
Market demand shifts impacting fishing priorities and catch strategies.
