The production of sharks, rays, and chimaeras in the UK capture fisheries for human consumption is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 3.9854 million euros in 2024, it is expected to decrease to 2.9036 million euros by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, with an average annual decline of approximately 7% over this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from regulatory changes, environmental conservation efforts, and shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options. These factors could further influence the production and consumption patterns of these species in the coming years.
