In 2023, the production of filleted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in the UK stood at a measurable level; however, the forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting at 0.68 metric tons in 2024 and 2025, the production is expected to slightly decrease to 0.67 metric tons in 2026, and further to 0.66 metric tons in both 2027 and 2028. The year-on-year variation reflects a marginal negative trend, and the compound annual growth rate indicates a consistent decrease in production over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of environmental regulations and sustainable fishing practices on production levels.
Potential economic or policy changes post-Brexit that could affect the fisheries industry.
Technological advancements in fishing techniques that might influence production efficiency.
