In 2023, the production of gutted fresh American Plaice and long Rough Dab in the UK capture fisheries stood at 0.12 metric tons. Looking ahead, forecasts show a slight decrease in production to 0.11 metric tons for 2025-2027 and further declining to 0.1 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variations indicate a steady decrease of 8.3% from 2024 to 2025 and a 9.1% decline by 2028 compared to 2024. This highlights a concerning downward trend in production volumes for these species.

Future Trends to Watch:

Potential impacts on supply chains and pricing due to decreasing production volumes.
Environmental and regulatory factors affecting fishing limits and conservation efforts.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices.
