In 2023, Finland led European freshwater and diadromous fish production in capture fisheries at 4.57 thousand metric tons, with modest year-on-year growth. Latvia and Poland followed, both benefiting from a positive trend. Notably, Denmark experienced a significant increase, contrasting with declines in Germany, Sweden, and other countries. The Netherlands experienced the steepest decline. Over the past five years, countries have shown varied CAGR, with some nations maintaining strong production while others, like Spain and Portugal, face reductions.
Looking forward, key trends to monitor include the impact of climate change on fisheries, potential EU regulatory changes, and evolving domestic demand for freshwater and diadromous fish. These factors will significantly influence production levels across European nations in the coming years.
