In 2023, whole fresh sea trout production in the UK capture fisheries stood below 2.41 metric tons, marking the baseline for the forecast. From 2024 to 2028, production is expected to grow incrementally, reaching 2.65 metric tons. Year-on-year, the production shows a positive trend, with an average annual growth of approximately 1.65%. This steady increase suggests underlying growth factors such as improved fishing practices or demand.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes in fishing practices that could impact production levels.
Advancements in sustainable fishing technologies that could enhance yield efficiency.
Market demand shifts driven by consumer preferences for sustainably sourced fish.
Impact of climate change on sea trout habitats that might affect future capture rates.
