In 2023, the production of fresh clams, cockles, and arkshells in Italy's capture fisheries stood at a certain baseline value. From 2024, we observe a steady decline in production value from 61.629 million euros to 58.869 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year decrease fluctuates around 1% annually. Considering a five-year time frame, the compound annual growth rate reflects a consistent negative trend, indicating an average decline per year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity affecting shellfish populations.
Changes in fishing regulations and policies that could further influence production levels.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices to counterbalance declines.
