In 2023, Spain emerged as the largest producer of fresh marbled electric rays for human consumption in Europe, with a production of 31.54 metric tons. France followed with 13.8 metric tons, while Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia produced marginally lower quantities. Year-on-year growth was most significant in Spain, with a 30.2% increase. France recorded a modest increase of 15.2%, while production in Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia remained unchanged. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate highlights Spain's increasing dominance in the sector.
Future trends to watch include potential production shifts due to sustainable fishing practices, market demand variations for electric ray consumption, and regulatory changes in EU fishing quotas that may affect capture rates. Monitoring technological innovations in the fisheries sector could also indicate changes in production efficiency and environmental impact.
