In 2023, production stood at 15.36 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year variation shows a persistent downward trend, with reducing values each year up to 2028 indicating a constrained supply. The compound annual growth rate over these five years is a negative figure, emphasizing the industry's gradual contraction.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes on UK fisheries, climate change effects on fish populations, and evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood practices.
