In 2023, Italy led European fresh Blackmouth Catshark production in capture fisheries with the highest value, followed by Spain, France, Malta, and Norway. Italy showed no year-on-year growth, while Spain increased by 1.12%. France's production value slightly decreased by 0.025%, Malta experienced a substantial 10.75% increase, and Norway had the highest growth of 22.79%. Over the past five years, Malta and Norway showed significant compound annual growth rates, indicating a growing industry interest.
Future trends to watch include the potential for Norway to expand further, given its recent growth momentum, and the stabilization of markets in Italy and France. Continued investments in sustainable fishing practices and emerging markets in smaller countries like Malta may shape the European Blackmouth Catshark production landscape.
