In 2023, Iceland was the leading producer of whole fresh northern prawns in capture fisheries with 3.15 thousand metric tons, although production declined by 6.56% from the previous year. Denmark followed with 1.99 thousand metric tons, experiencing a growth of 12.65%. Sweden and Italy saw slight variations, with decreases of 5.75% and an increase of 14.6% respectively. The United Kingdom had a significant production boost of 34.61%, albeit from a lower base compared to others.

For future trends, key factors to watch include environmental changes affecting northern prawn habitats, regulatory shifts in EU fisheries policies, and technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices. These elements could reshape production dynamics across European countries, potentially leading to increased yields or new challenges in capturing fresh northern prawns.
