The forecast for Mediterranean Scaldfish production in Italy, based on data from 2024 to 2028, shows a declining trend in value. From 2024 to 2028, the value expressed in Thousand Euros per Metric Ton decreases from 4.12 to 3.69. The year-on-year reduction is approximately 2.9% annually, highlighting a consistent downward trajectory.

Changes in Mediterranean climatic conditions impacting marine life.
Policy shifts in fisheries management and regulations.
Technological advancements in fishing methods possibly affecting efficiency and economies of scale.
