In 2023, the production value of whole fresh Donax clams in Italy's capture fisheries was at a certain level. The forecast for the subsequent years indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028; values decrease annually by approximately 3-9%. Notably, the compound annual growth rate over these five years is negative, signaling a consistent reduction in production value.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental impact and sustainability measures affecting fishery practices.
- Government policies on marine reserve areas that might limit fishing activities.
- Market demand shifts due to consumer preference changes.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture that might offset capture fisheries decline.
