The European whole fresh smooth-hounds production in capture fisheries showed varying levels of production values among countries in 2023, with Slovenia leading at 15.28 thousand euros per metric ton. Italy, Spain, and Portugal followed with values of 7.3, 4.97, and 3.25 respectively. Notably, the year-on-year variation indicated growth in Slovenia's and Spain's production values, with Slovenia increasing by 3.55% and Spain by 0.73% in 2023. Portugal experienced a decline of 2.51%, while Greece, France, and other countries recorded modest growths. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has been positive, marking a steady increase in production efficiency and value.
Future trends to watch include the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, which may alter smooth-hounds distribution and consequently affect production by country. Innovations in sustainable fishing practices and regulations will likely influence future yields and valuations. Additionally, changes in consumer demand for whole fresh smooth-hounds will shape market dynamics, potentially leading to shifts in production focus across European countries.
