In 2023, the Netherlands led European gutted fresh turbot production in capture fisheries with a share of 41.29 metric tons, followed by Denmark (16.42 MT) and the United Kingdom (16.29 MT). France and Ireland had 12.05 MT and 6.03 MT, respectively. Over the past year, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Norway experienced notable declines, with reductions of 7.3%, 11.55%, and 23.55%, respectively. The United Kingdom and Ireland showed slight growth with increases of 1.61% and 1.34%. Over the last five years, the CAGR shows gradual declines in overall production across most countries, indicating a challenging environment for this fishery segment.
Looking forward, it’s essential to watch how sustainable fishing practices and regulatory changes in Europe might influence turbot production. Climate change and evolving market demands for locally sourced seafood could also impact the industry's dynamics, potentially leading to shifts in production locations or increased focus on aquaculture to meet demand.
