In 2023, the production value for whole fresh grey gurnard in the UK capture fisheries stood at 525 euros per metric ton. The forecast for the production value is showing a consistent decline over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, moving from 504.09 euros per metric ton in 2024 to 430.17 euros by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate a steady decrease, with an average decline of approximately 3.9% per year over this period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer demand which may influence production rates and market value.
- Environmental changes impacting fish populations could further affect future production.
- Economic fluctuations in the EU and UK that could alter export dynamics or pricing strategies.
- Developments in sustainable fishing practices and regulations that might influence supply levels.
