The forecast for the production of whole fresh tub gurnard in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 98.12 metric tons in 2024, the production is expected to rise to 112.85 metric tons by 2028. This represents year-on-year growth rates of approximately 3.9% for 2025, 3.6% for 2026, 3.5% for 2027, and 3.3% for 2028. These projections reflect a consistent upward trend with a compound annual growth rate over five years.
Future trends to watch include:
- Market demand changes for tub gurnard driven by consumer preferences for sustainable and locally sourced seafood.
- Environmental and regulatory impacts affecting fish stock availability and capture practices.
- Innovations in fishing technology and supply chain improvements that may influence production efficiency.
