In 2023, whole fresh blue shark production in Italy's capture fisheries stood at an undisclosed base value. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted production exhibits a consistent decline, with a significant year-on-year reduction. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is negative, indicating an average annual decrease in production. The data suggests a sharp decline from 15 metric tons in 2024 to 3.2 metric tons in 2028, highlighting a concerning downward trajectory.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential regulatory changes affecting shark fishing practices could impact production levels.
Environmental and conservation efforts might drive further reductions in capture, aiming to protect marine biodiversity.
Economic shifts and market demand changes may alter production trends and strategies.
