The forecast for whole fresh anglerfishes production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK shows a significant decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the production was at a certain level, and the forecasted values indicate a continual decrease. Year-on-year variations reveal a sharp downward trend with production dropping nearly by 19% from 2024 to 2025, 23% from 2025 to 2026, 30% from 2026 to 2027, and 42% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over the five years shows a substantial decreasing trend.
Future trends to watch include the impact of regulatory changes on fisheries, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and environmental challenges such as changing marine ecosystems. These factors may further influence production levels or lead to alternative strategies for meeting demand.
