The production of whole fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in Germany's capture fisheries is set to rise gradually from 7.38 metric tons in 2024 to 7.57 metric tons by 2028. Comparing this to 2023 figures will allow a clearer analysis of trends. The year-on-year growth indicates a steady but modest increase, with each year showing a percentage rise from the previous one. The compound annual growth rate over the forecast period suggests a consistent upward trajectory in production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential regulatory changes affecting capture fisheries and their ecological impact.
Market demand shifts driven by consumer preferences for sustainable seafood.
Technological advancements in fisheries management and monitoring.
