In 2023, whole fresh picked dogfish production in Italy's capture fisheries stood at 44.5 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a consistent decline in production, decreasing from 38.8 metric tons in 2024 to 17.2 metric tons in 2028. This downward trend signifies a year-on-year reduction in production capacity, highlighting a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental regulations affecting fishing practices.
- Potential shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood options.
- Advancements in fisheries technology and management practices impacting yield efficiency.
