In 2023, the production of Spotted Ray in French capture fisheries was recorded at approximately 398.97 metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in production, with annual reductions in volume. Specifically, the year-on-year declines reflect a consistent downward trend: -5.87% in 2025, -6.19% in 2026, -6.51% in 2027, and -6.91% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is projected at -6.37%, highlighting a significant contraction in production.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in market demand and potential regulatory changes on fishing quotas, which could further impact production levels. Economic and environmental factors might also play a critical role in shaping these forecasts. The focus should be on sustainable practices to potentially stabilize or reverse these declining trends.
