The value per metric ton is expected to decrease slightly each year, marking a year-on-year decline of approximately 0.36% based on the forecast data. By 2023, the value stood higher than the forecasted figures for 2024 onward, highlighting a consistent downward trend driven by market conditions or environmental factors impacting fisheries.
Future trends to watch for include:
