In 2023, France's fresh sea lamprey production in capture fisheries for human consumption was recorded at 7.5 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts show a steady decline in production with values projected to drop from 7.2 to 5.9 metric tons.
The year-on-year variation in this period reveals a consistent downward trend of approximately -3% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this five-year span is negative, highlighting a persistent decline in production.
Future trends to watch include the impact of regulatory changes, environmental factors affecting lamprey populations, and shifts in consumer demand for sea lamprey, all of which could influence production levels further.
