In 2023, Italy led Mediterranean moray production among European countries, followed by Portugal and Spain. Despite its predominance, Italy saw a 5.31% decline from 2022, whereas Portugal showed modest growth at 0.5%. Spain experienced a decrease of 3.85%. France, despite smaller volumes, substantially increased by 20.11%, while Croatia showed a slight increase of 1.83%. Notably, Malta's production figures remain marginal.
Looking ahead, Italy is anticipated to maintain its lead, though market dynamics such as demand shifts, environmental policies, and sustainable practices could influence production. Monitoring these trends will be essential for stakeholders in the Mediterranean fisheries sector.
