In 2023, the value of Fresh Little Tunny or Atlantic black Skipjack production in capture fisheries in France was established as a baseline. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 depict a declining trend, with the value expected to decrease from 5.16 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 to 2.85 in 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease, with values dropping approximately 11% annually.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued decline due to potential overfishing or regulatory changes impacting capture fishery practices.
- Environmental factors affecting population dynamics, potentially altering production costs.
- Market demand fluctuations that might influence the economic value of these fish.
