The forecast for whole fresh Blackmouth Catshark production in Italian capture fisheries for human consumption shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. From a projected 10.2 metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decrease incrementally each year, standing at 9.4 metric tons by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decline of roughly 2%. In comparison to 2023, the forecast anticipates an average annual contraction (CAGR) of approximately 2% over the five-year period.
Future trends to monitor include potential impacts of regulatory changes on fishing quotas, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and shifts in consumer demand towards alternative fish species, which could further influence production volumes in the coming years.
