In 2023, Portugal led European Total River Eels production for human consumption, significantly outpacing other countries. Notable regions like Estonia and France saw substantial increases, with Finland and the Netherlands showing steady gains. Conversely, declines were seen in Poland, Latvia, and Italy, with the United Kingdom experiencing the steepest drop. Germany, Spain, and Norway exhibited modest growth, whereas Croatia and Greece faced notable reductions over the observed period.
Future trends in European River Eels production will likely see a focus on environmental sustainability and regulation adherence due to ecological concerns over eel populations, impacting production particularly in leading countries like Portugal and emerging contributors like Estonia.
