The production value of whole fresh small-spotted catshark in Italy is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024, with a 3.5% drop from 2024 to 2025. Over the subsequent years, there is a consistent year-on-year decrease of around 3.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reflecting ongoing challenges in the capture fisheries sector.
Looking forward, potential factors impacting future trends include:
- Regulatory changes to protect marine biodiversity.
