The production of gutted fresh Greater Forkbeard in the UK capture fisheries for human consumption is forecasted to decline from 2 metric tons in 2024 to 1.24 metric tons in 2028. This marks a continuous year-on-year reduction of approximately 10% from 2024 to 2028. For context, in 2023, the volume stood at 2 metric tons. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period from 2024 to 2028 is expected to reflect a negative trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts on local fisheries due to regulatory changes, shifts in consumer demand for Greater Forkbeard, and environmental factors affecting fish populations and sustainability practices.
