The forecast for gutted fresh Cuckoo Ray production in UK capture fisheries for human consumption indicates a significant downward trend from 2024 to 2028, with values declining from 48.55 to 18.21 thousand euros. This represents a yearly average decrease of approximately 18.7% over the five-year period. In 2023, the production stood at a higher level than in any of the forecasted years, pointing toward a continuous decline in this sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental regulations or changes impacting fish population dynamics.
Shifts in consumer demand or preferences for sustainable seafood options.
Economic factors affecting the capture fisheries industry, including potential impacts of Brexit-related policies.
