The production of gutted fresh whelk in France's capture fisheries is projected to decline steadily from 1.5 metric tons in 2024 to 1.2 metric tons by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 6.67% from 2024 to 2027, with stabilization occurring in 2028 at the same level as in 2027.
The trend suggests a diminishing output, potentially driven by factors such as overfishing impacts, environmental changes, or evolving market demands. Key areas to watch include sustainability practices in the fishing industry, regulatory changes affecting capture fisheries, and innovations in aquaculture that might offset declines in wild catch production.
