In 2023, Portugal led European blackspot seabream capture fisheries with 438.32 metric tons, followed by Spain and Italy with 138.66 and 100.1 metric tons, respectively. Significant year-on-year declines were noted in Spain and France at -10.1% and -5.29%. In contrast, growth was observed in Malta and Croatia at 6.06% and 14.03%. The UK and Netherlands saw notable decreases, with the latter ceasing production entirely.
Looking ahead, trends to watch include continued growth in Malta and potential stabilization in Italy and Greece. The impact of climate change and regulatory shifts will also be crucial in shaping the blackspot seabream landscape.
