In 2023, the production of gutted fresh European plaice in capture fisheries in France stood at a level not explicitly provided in the data. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a steady decline in production value, decreasing from 535.74 thousand euros to 479.27 thousand euros. The year-on-year decline ranges from approximately 2.68% in the early years to 2.82% by 2028. This trend suggests an average annual decline of 2.72% over the five years, highlighting a persistent downward trajectory for this sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Efforts to improve sustainability may impact capture levels.
Changes in market demand or price structures in the seafood industry could alter economic incentives.
External factors, such as climate change, might further influence fish stock availability and productivity.
