Iceland leads European Fresh Northern Prawn production in capture fisheries for 2023, representing over half of the total production. Denmark follows, contributing roughly one-third. Sweden and Italy add smaller shares, while other countries contribute marginally. Iceland and Sweden experienced declines in 2023, contrasting with gains in Denmark and Italy. Notably, the UK saw significant year-on-year increases from low base levels, while Spain faced substantial reductions.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in production priorities due to environmental policies, technological advances enhancing capture efficiencies, and market demand fluctuations. Monitoring climate impact on prawn habitats will also be crucial.
