In 2023, the total production of King Crabs and Squat-lobsters in France's capture fisheries was not specified. From 2024 onwards, a gradual decline is evident: forecasted values decrease from 2.2 metric tons in 2024 to 1.7 metric tons in 2028. The average annual decrease (CAGR) over this period is approximately 5.1%. The production trend shows a consistent year-on-year decline, indicating potential challenges in capture rates or regulatory impacts on the species being fished.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental regulations affecting catch limits and quotas.
- Market demand shifts that might influence capture intensity.
- Technological advancements in fishing that could impact efficiency.
- Climate change effects on marine biodiversity and habitats.
