The forecast for shrimp and prawn production in capture fisheries in the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, with volumes decreasing from 405.29 metric tons in 2024 to 298.61 metric tons in 2028. This suggests a year-on-year reduction, with the steepest declines occurring progressively each year. In 2023, the production stood at 432 metric tons, reflecting a downward trend starting from actual data.

Key trends to monitor:

Environmental Impact: Climate change and overfishing may further impact capture fishery levels.
Regulatory Changes: Policies promoting sustainable fishing practices could alter production figures.
Technological Advances: Innovations in aquaculture might compensate for declines in capture fisheries.
