In 2023, Spain led the European capture fisheries for whole fresh tunas, bonitos, and billfishes, generating €150.47 million. France and Italy followed, producing €47.539 million and €42.902 million, respectively. These nations showed minor but positive year-on-year growth, with Spain and France at over 2%, while Italy demonstrated a 2.48% increase. Conversely, Portugal experienced a slight decline, as did Greece. Cyprus, Croatia, and Norway also showed significant negative variations, indicating fluctuating market conditions and potential challenges in maintaining stable output levels.
Looking forward, it is crucial to monitor technological advancements in fishing practices, policies around sustainability and quotas, and economic conditions across the Eurozone, which may impact production stability and growth prospects for European capture fisheries targeting these species.
