The production of fresh freshwater and diadromous fishes in capture fisheries in Germany was 1.04 thousand metric tons in 2023. Forecasts indicate a steady increase with an average annual growth of approximately 1.9% between 2024 and 2028, leading to a projected figure of 1.14 thousand metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year increase is consistent and reflects a modest upward trend towards sustainable production levels.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased focus on sustainable fishing practices could impact long-term production capacities.
Technological advances and regulatory changes may drive efficiency in capture fisheries.
Climate change remains a critical factor that could affect fish population dynamics and habitat conditions.
