The forecast for whole fresh sand sole production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France suggests a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with the quantity diminishing from 90.75 metric tons in 2024 to 89.86 metric tons in 2028. Comparing this to the 2023 figure of approximately 91 metric tons, the gradual reduction reflects a year-on-year decline of about 0.33% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years indicates a subtle average annual decrease. The data provide an early alert on the potential future challenges related to sustainability and fishery management.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Regulatory changes impacting fishing practices and quotas.
- Environmental factors affecting marine biodiversity and sand sole habitats.
- Market demand shifts due to consumer preferences or economic conditions.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing methods.
