The whole fresh small red scorpionfish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in Italy shows a significant declining trend from 2024 to 2028. With 2023 as a reference point, the forecast indicates a steady decrease in production value. The year-on-year decline is substantial, with a starting point in 2024 at approximately 893 Euros per metric ton, and dropping to around 166 Euros per metric ton by 2028. The CAGR over this five-year period reflects a sharp downturn in the industry, at a rate of substantial negative growth annually.
