In 2023, Iceland led European lemon sole production, with the highest capture share of 23.9 Euros, closely followed by Denmark at 23.49 Euros. The United Kingdom and France held significant shares, at 17.94 and 16.87 Euros respectively. Lower shares were observed in Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Norway, Germany, and Sweden.

Looking ahead, European lemon sole production is expected to face challenges due to environmental regulations and shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood. Countries may leverage technological advancements in sustainable fishing to stabilize or improve production efficacy and share, particularly those currently in decline.
