As of 2023, Latvia led European whole fresh freshwater and diadromous fish production for human consumption with Poland and Estonia next. Over the past year, Poland showed strong growth at 4.02%, while Greece faced the steepest decline at 30.82%. Finland faced significant decreases at 19.12%, while other major producers like France and Sweden saw reductions of 11.31% and 12.51%, respectively. Overall, there was a mix of slight growth in novel markets like Bulgaria with an increase of 5.55% and continued declines in many established markets.
Future trends suggest a focus on sustainability and resource management might favor growth in emerging markets. The diversification of species and adaptation to changing climate conditions remain critical, while established markets may face challenges if they don't innovate or increase efficiency.
