The forecast for fresh longnose spurdog production in Italy's capture fisheries from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, with quantities decreasing steadily from 3 metric tons in 2024 to 0.8 metric tons by 2028. This reflects an expected year-on-year decrease of 23.3% from 2025 to 2026, 29.4% from 2026 to 2027, and 33.3% from 2027 to 2028. The average annual decline over the five-year period (CAGR) is approximately 27%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in fishing regulations, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and the impact of climate change on marine biodiversity, which could further influence fishing volumes. Sustainable fishing practices may become critical in mitigating the decline.
