The forecast for the production of Whole Fresh Craylets and Squat Lobsters in the UK capture fisheries from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, with values expressed in Thousand Euros per Metric Ton decreasing from 1.84 in 2024 to 1.06 in 2028. The annual percentage change demonstrates a clear downward trend: the year-on-year decline is approximately 10.87% in 2025, 11.59% in 2026, 11.71% in 2027, and 15.2% in 2028.
