The forecasted data for total sea trout production in the UK's capture fisheries shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.75 metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 1.41 metric tons by 2028, the production trend indicates a consistent annual decrease. In 2023, the production stood higher than the 2024 forecast. The average annual change, indicated by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), highlights an enduring downward trend over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change on sea trout habitats affecting future capture volumes.
- Regulatory measures aimed at sustainable fishing practices.
- Potential shifts towards aquaculture to meet demand amidst declining wild capture.
