The forecasted production of Jack and Horse Mackerels in the UK capture fisheries indicates a downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.29 thousand metric tons in 2024, this figure declines to 0.5018 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a consistent negative year-on-year growth rate exceeding 15% annually as the volume steadily decreases.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Sustainable fishing practices which may potentially mitigate the production decline.
- Environmental policies and their impact on fish stocks.
- The influence of climate change on marine ecosystems and subsequent effects on fish availability.
- Technological advancements in marine monitoring and management.
