The forecast for gutted fresh megrim production in capture fisheries in France shows a consistently decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.76 thousand metric tons in 2024, the production is expected to decline annually, reaching 1.48 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates an annual average decrease of about 3.38% over the five-year period, resulting in a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a persistent decline.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of environmental regulations on fishing practices and megrim supply chain.
Changes in consumer demand possibly shifting towards more sustainable seafood options.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing that may offset production declines.
