In 2023, the production value of fresh small-spotted catshark in capture fisheries in France was recorded at an estimated figure, preceding the forecasted values for the years 2024 to 2028. From 2024 onwards, we observe a steady annual increase in the value per metric ton, starting from 518.81 euros in 2024 up to 519.74 euros by 2028. The year-on-year increase remains subtle but consistent, demonstrating a stable rise in value.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in regulatory policies affecting fisheries which could impact production costs and market dynamics.
Environmental factors, including climate change, influencing the availability and health of catshark populations.
Consumer demand shifts towards sustainable seafood, potentially affecting pricing and production approaches.
