In 2023, France led European total Gilthead Seabream production for capture fisheries aimed at human consumption, holding the largest share. Greece witnessed significant growth of 6.17% year-on-year, while Italy saw a steep decline of 14.93%. Notably, Croatia and Cyprus recorded substantial increases at 15.22% and 15.07% respectively. Other countries like Malta and the United Kingdom showed impressive growth at 45.86% and 50.5%, although from smaller base levels. Over the last five years, average annual growth (CAGR) has varied, but countries like Croatia and Cyprus have maintained consistent upward trends.
Looking ahead, potential shifts include increasing competition from aquaculture, regulatory changes impacting fish stocks, and environmental factors such as climate change influencing fish availability. Monitoring these elements will be key in assessing future production dynamics across European nations.
