In 2023, the production of gutted fresh European plaice in France's capture fisheries stood at approximately 220 metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual decline, with production expected to decrease from 219.59 metric tons in 2024 to 216.47 metric tons by 2028. This indicates a slight but steady year-on-year decline.
