In 2023, the UK haddock production in capture fisheries stood at 28.65 thousand metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline, from 28.34 to 27.12 thousand metric tons, reflecting a consistent decrease. Year-on-year, this shows a decrease of approximately 1-2%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an average annual reduction of around 1% over this five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from climate change on fish populations, shifting fishing regulations, and market demands for sustainable seafood. Additionally, technological advances in fishing may influence capture efficiencies and overall production levels.
