The Netherlands leads European production of gutted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in capture fisheries, producing 23.28 thousand metric tons in 2023 despite a 10.09% decline from last year. Denmark and the United Kingdom follow with slight reductions or stability, while Iceland and France also show minor declines. Remarkably, Germany shows a significant increase of 19.63%. Smaller producers like Spain, Norway, and others mostly exhibit reduced outputs.
Future trends to watch include Germany’s potential for continued growth and the challenges for northern European countries grappling with declining stocks. Sustainability practices and regulatory changes are pivotal in shaping the European market dynamics moving forward.
