The forecast for Germany's production of whole fresh freshwater and diadromous fishes in capture fisheries indicates a steady annual increase in value per metric ton, from 2.33 thousand euros in 2024 to 2.58 thousand euros by 2028. This consistent growth represents an annual growth rate of approximately 2.08%, assuming a linear trend from the hypothetical 2023 value. The absence of 2023 data requires assuming stability in previous years to establish a baseline for calculation.

Future trends to watch for include:

Environmental regulations impacting fisheries and potential changes in production costs.
Climate change's effects on freshwater ecosystems affecting catch volume.
Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood.
