The forecast for the total European seabass production in capture fisheries in the UK from 2024 to 2028 shows a clear downward trend. Starting at 277.23 metric tons in 2024, the production is expected to decrease consistently each year, reaching 173.4 metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -11% over the five-year period. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2025 is around -9.6%, with subsequent years demonstrating similar decreasing patterns.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes, shifts in consumer demand, and environmental factors that could further influence seabass fisheries. Additionally, technological advancements in aquaculture may impact wild capture production levels, as farmed alternatives continue to evolve and potentially offset the decline in wild catches.
