In 2023, Estonia led European production of whole fresh diadromous fishes for human consumption with significant growth of 18.8% year-on-year. Latvia followed closely, despite a slight decline of 2.29%. France, Denmark, and Poland also contribute substantial volumes, but France and Spain saw notable declines of 12.85% and 12.21% respectively.

Over the past five years, growth has varied significantly, with Estonia and Poland showing positive trends, while many other countries faced declines.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include potential growth in Estonian and Polish fisheries, driven by sustainable practices and demand fluctuations. Monitoring ecological impacts and regulatory changes across Europe will be crucial for assessing production shifts. Additionally, technological advancements in fishing and alterations in consumer preferences could influence production trends.
