In 2023, Sweden dominated European production in capture fisheries for industrial processing of whole fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles, with 1.15 thousand metric tons, growing by 444.88% year-on-year. Norway and Denmark followed, though Norway's production fell by 14.15% while Denmark saw an increase of 81.32%. Germany showed no change, and Poland recorded the highest growth rate at 177.53%, albeit from a small base. Estonia's contribution remained minor.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential increased production in non-leading countries to diversify sources.
- Impacts of environmental policies on sustainable fishing practices.
- Technological advancements in fishery techniques that may boost production efficiency.
