The forecast for spotted flounder production in capture fisheries for Italy indicates a significant decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 165.48 thousand euros in 2024, the value decreases sharply to 37.79 thousand euros by 2028. This marks a steep year-on-year decrease, with approximately 19.6% reduction each year from 2024 to 2028, and a notable drop from the 2023 level, which requires focusing on sustainability measures.
