The forecast for the gutted frozen Atlantic cod production in the UK capture fisheries indicates a significant downward trend from 2.29 thousand euros in 2024 to nearly zero in 2028. This represents an average decrease of approximately 49% annually over the five-year period. As of 2023, data indicates that levels were higher but exact values are unavailable. The sharp decline could be attributed to factors such as overfishing, regulatory changes, or market dynamics impacting the supply chain.
Future trends to watch include:
- Exploring sustainable fishing practices to potentially stabilize or reverse the decline.
- Monitoring regulatory policies that might impact Atlantic cod fisheries in coming years.
- Evaluating market demand shifts and consumer preferences towards alternative fish species.
