The forecasted production of gutted fresh surmullet in the UK shows a consistent year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 5.66 metric tons in 2024, it decreases annually by approximately 6-7%, dropping to 4.35 metric tons by 2028. This continuation of downward trend follows a similar pattern observed in prior years, where the production stood higher in 2023. With a calculated negative CAGR over this five-year span, the outlook suggests sustained decline in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in surmullet catch quotas, climate impact on fish populations, and evolving market demand. Additionally, advancements in sustainable fishing practices could alter production forecasts significantly.
