The forecast for total blue shark production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a marked decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 30.4 metric tons in 2024 and decreasing steadily each year to 9.9 metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, when the production stood at 31.6 metric tons, this indicates sharp year-on-year reductions, particularly noticeable from 2024 onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years reflects a significant downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of sustainability and conservation efforts on shark populations, particularly policies aimed at reducing overfishing. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood could further influence production levels.
