In 2023, the United Kingdom led European production of fresh trouts, smelts, and salmons in capture fisheries, showcasing a value of 13.01 thousand euros per metric ton, followed closely by Norway and France. The UK saw a 5% increase, while France exhibited a 5.56% growth. Notably, Lithuania and Sweden experienced significant expansions in production value, growing by 13.27% and 12.57%, respectively. In contrast, declines were observed in Denmark, Germany, and Finland, with the latter showing the sharpest decrease of 8.38%. Over the past five years, varied growth rates have been noted, reflecting broader shifts within European fishery production dynamics.
Looking ahead, European production of fresh trouts, smelts, and salmons may be influenced by sustainability efforts, climate change impact, and shifts in consumer demand towards responsibly sourced fish. Innovation in capture techniques and adoption of technology in fisheries could play a crucial role in shaping the industry’s trajectory. Upcoming policy changes at the European Union level may also affect competitive dynamics between countries.
