The year-on-year variations indicate an upward trend in production, with annual increases ranging from 6.64% to 5.41%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in capture fisheries that could further enhance squid production efficiency.
- Potential impacts of climate change on squid habitats affecting production levels.
- Increasing demand for sustainable seafood, potentially driving more investments in responsible squid fishing practices.
