The European whole fresh European conger production in capture fisheries exhibits significant national disparities. As of 2023, Spain leads with 1.41 thousand metric tons, followed by Portugal with approximately 0.49, and France with 0.32. Among the countries, only Belgium and the Netherlands showed growth in production from the previous year, with Belgium increasing by 2.54% and the Netherlands by a remarkable 15.54%. Conversely, significant declines were seen in Italy and Cyprus, falling by 10.47% and 23.17% respectively. Over a five-year period, a consistent downtrend is observed across most countries, with Denmark notably ceasing production entirely.
Future trends to watch in European conger production include potential growth areas such as sustainable fishing practices and shifts in consumer demand. Countries investing in enhancing their marine biodiversity and improving capture fisheries technology may benefit. Additionally, the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and the regulatory changes in fisheries management will likely influence production dynamics.
