Did you know that ~88% of assessed fish stocks are either overfished or at their maximum sustainable limits? This week, we analysed 114 European aquaculture players and collected valuable insights on the increasing dominance of a select group of fisheries, the main drivers behind margin expansion in the challenging fish processing and distribution market as well as the emerging opportunities in controlled-environment fish farming. PE interest has been low, with ~15% of identified assets being sponsor-backed. Key reasons to invest include the positive population growth projections and rising seafood consumption, adoption of land-based fish farms with enhanced productivity and growing demand for low-impact and traceable seafood products. On the other hand, the lack of sustainable catch limits, rising aquaculture production costs and competition from countries with more favourable regulations serve as detractors for investors.
