In 2023, the value of gutted fresh surmullet production in capture fisheries for human consumption in the UK stood at 4.00 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in value, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.575%. The year-on-year percentage variation reveals a consistent decrease of about 0.5% each year. This forecasted downturn reflects potential changes in market conditions or fishery yields.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Fluctuations in consumer demand for fish products.
- The impact of environmental regulations on fishing practices.
- Innovations in sustainable fishery management to counteract declining values.
