In Italy, the production of fresh squids, cuttlefishes, and octopuses in capture fisheries is showing a declining trend. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decrease from 9.52 to 8.74 thousand metric tons. This represents a reduction of approximately 2.0% year-on-year on average.

Looking ahead, several trends could impact future production levels:

Sustainability initiatives and regulations might further affect catch volumes.
Advancements in aquaculture could offset declines in wild capture productions.
Climate change may continue to alter marine ecosystems and species availability.
