The forecast for the UK's total spotted ray production in capture fisheries for human consumption from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady upward trend. Starting at 217.91 metric tons in 2024, production is expected to increase annually, reaching 256.47 metric tons by 2028. Compared to previous years, this indicates a consistent growth pattern.
Year-on-year percentage increases highlight resilience and potential for future growth, with production expected to rise approximately 4.57% per year. This aligns with a robust cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over the five years. Notably, the spotted ray production in 2023 recorded lower values, pointing toward a significant upward revision in forecast data.
Future trends to monitor include the effects of environmental policies and sustainable fishing practices, as well as potential impacts related to climate change and sea temperature variations. These factors may influence availability and yield, reflecting on forecast accuracy.
