In 2023, the Netherlands led European production of fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in capture fisheries, despite a decline of 9.84% year-on-year. Denmark and the United Kingdom followed, both experiencing contractions, while Portugal saw a slight growth. Sweden stood out with a 13.65% increase. Conversely, Norway and Lithuania faced significant declines. Notably, Romania demonstrated a modest upward trend.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in production due to changing environmental policies, sustainability practices, and market demands. Further monitoring of technological advancements in fishing practices could also impact production efficiency across Europe.
