The crustaceans production in Canada exhibited a generally downward trend from 2014 to 2023. From a peak value in 2015, the production saw significant fluctuations, with notable drops in 2016 and 2020. Despite a temporary recovery in 2021 and 2022, production declined again in 2023, reaching 263.51 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year variation in 2023 was -1.4%, while the five-year CAGR was -1.38%, indicating an average annual decrease.
