Fresh Atlantic Mackerel production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK is expected to witness a declining trend from 2024 onwards. The forecast predicts that from 2024's production value of 4.0246 million Euros, there will be a steep decrease to 0.87265 million Euros by 2028. This marks a significant reduction, with a decline in year-on-year percentage each year.
In 2023, the last actual data point, the production value is not specified, making it challenging to benchmark distinctly against 2024 forecasts. However, the consistent downward trend indicates a critical need to assess driving factors behind this decrease.
Future trends to watch for:
- Regulatory impacts on capture fisheries, impacting production sustainability.
- Environmental and climate change factors affecting fish stock availability.
- Market demand shifts towards alternative fish supplies or substitutes.
- Advances in aquaculture potentially offsetting declines from capture fisheries.
