The production of whole fresh Atlantic cod in UK capture fisheries is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028, with a decline from 11.57 metric tons in 2024 to 8.73 metric tons in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with the production volume declining by approximately 6.31% annually from 2024 to 2025 and maintaining a downward trend in subsequent years. By 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the production volume is expected to reflect a declining trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental policies, changes in fishing quotas, and the potential effects of climate change on fish populations. Monitoring shifts in consumer demand and advancements in aquaculture technology could also shape the future of cod production.
