In 2023, the leading producer in Europe for fresh Great Atlantic scallops in capture fisheries for human consumption was France, with a substantial share, followed by the United Kingdom. Year-on-year variations show France experiencing a notable decrease of 9.25%, while the United Kingdom displayed a slight increase. Other countries like Norway and Belgium showed marginal decreases, while the Netherlands and Sweden had significant surges in their production volumes, particularly Sweden with a remarkable rise.
