The total production of Sandy Ray in Italy's capture fisheries is on a decreasing trajectory from 2024 to 2028, starting from 1.3 metric tons in 2024 and projected to decrease to 0.3 metric tons in 2028. This represents significant year-on-year declines: a 15.4% decrease from 2024 to 2025, a 27.3% decrease from 2025 to 2026, a 37.5% decrease from 2026 to 2027, and a 40% decrease from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady decline, reflecting an average annual decrease of 29.2% over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch include sustainable fishing practices, regulatory changes, and the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, which could influence production levels further. Monitoring environmental policies and advancements in aquaculture technology could provide insights into possible shifts or stabilization in Sandy Ray production.
