The estimated production of alive fresh tunas, bonitos, and billfishes in Italy's capture fisheries is 2.8 thousand metric tons for 2024 and 2025. This projection remains steady until a minor decline begins in 2026, gradually tapering to 2.77 thousand metric tons by 2028. Notably, in 2023, the production was at 2.82 thousand metric tons, indicating a slight decrease over the forecasted years. The average annual change (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reflects a modest decline, underscoring a cautious approach in fisheries management.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of climate change on marine biodiversity and fish stock availability.
- Regulatory changes in EU fisheries policy affecting quotas and sustainability measures.
- Technological advancements in fishing techniques and fishery management.
- Market demand shifts influenced by consumer preferences and sustainability campaigns.
