In 2023, Finland led Europe's total production in capture fisheries for trouts, smelts, and salmons with a substantial share, while Estonia showed the most significant year-on-year increase. In contrast, Latvia, Poland, and the Netherlands experienced notable declines. Most countries showed negative growth, indicating a general downturn except for Estonia, which saw a remarkable surge. Overall, there was a downward trend in this sector over the past five years.
Future trends to watch involve potential policy shifts on sustainable fishing practices, technological advancements in fishing, and environmental impacts that could reshape the dynamics of fish production in these regions.
