The European production of squids, cuttlefishes, and octopuses in capture fisheries is led by Spain, with 50.9 thousand metric tons in 2023, followed by France (16.07k) and Italy (9.97k). Recent trends reveal a notable growth in Spain (12.09%) and the Netherlands (15.56%) from 2022 to 2023. Portugal and France also recorded increases, albeit at modest rates. Conversely, Italy and Slovenia experienced a decline in production. Significant growth was observed in Norway (47.07%) and Iceland (85.67%), despite their smaller absolute production.
Future trends to monitor include Spain's potential to further dominate the sector, driven by its consistent growth. Additionally, the robust increases in production from Nordic countries like Iceland and Norway could signal a growing shift or diversification in European marine capture locales. Environmental regulations and sustainable fishing practices will also play crucial roles in shaping future production trends.
