The production value of whole fresh river eels in Italy's capture fisheries for human consumption is expected to show a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The forecast suggests a consistent decrease, with the value dropping from €8.28 thousand per metric ton in 2024 to €7.2 thousand in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease ranging from approximately 3% to 4% during this period.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Shifts in market demand for eel products.
- Changes in fishing regulations impacting yield.
- Environmental factors affecting eel populations and capture success.
