In 2023, the production of fresh European seabass in capture fisheries in France stood at an undisclosed amount as the data for 2023 is not included here. From 2024 onward, the forecast suggests a steady decline in production: 2.25 thousand metric tons in 2024, decreasing each subsequent year to reach 1.81 thousand metric tons in 2028. The average annual percentage decrease over these years, calculated as a compound annual growth rate (CAGR), highlights a negative trend in production.

Longer-term trends to watch for include:

Environmental impacts affecting fish populations, which could further decrease capture rates.
Regulatory changes in fishing quotas impacting production.
Market demand shifts towards more sustainable sources possibly affecting capture fisheries.
