In 2023, France led European gutted fresh blonde ray production in capture fisheries with approximately 595 metric tons, marking a 9.47% increase year-on-year. Ireland follows with nearly 459 metric tons, experiencing a slight decrease of 1.62%. The United Kingdom, showing a decrease of 1.4%, produced about 81 metric tons. Meanwhile, the Netherlands increased output by 3.35%, producing roughly 28 metric tons, and Belgium experienced a notable growth of 10.06% to approximately 20 metric tons. Both Denmark and Spain contributed marginally with around 0.2 and 0.09 metric tons, respectively.
Future trends to watch include:
- Sustained growth potential in Belgium, potentially driven by increased demand or improved fishing practices.
- The need for strategic management in Ireland and the UK to reverse production declines.
- Monitoring environmental and regulatory impacts on fisheries, particularly in France and the Netherlands.
