In 2023, the production of cods, hakes, and haddocks in UK capture fisheries for human consumption was estimated at around 15.89 thousand metric tons. The forecast indicates a gradual decline in production from 14.78 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 10.44 thousand metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year, the production decreases by approximately 7.6% (2024 to 2025), 8% (2025 to 2026), 8.6% (2026 to 2027), and 9.1% (2027 to 2028). The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period (2024-2028) reflects an average annual decrease of 8.8% in production.

Future trends to watch include:

Adapting to environmental policies impacting capture fisheries.
Evaluating sustainable fishing practices to potentially stabilize or enhance production.
Monitoring shifts in consumer demand and the impact of economic factors on fish consumption.
