In 2023, France's production of whole fresh herrings, sardines, and anchovies in capture fisheries stood at a certain level, serving as a baseline for forecasts. The projected trend from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady annual decline in production from 25.08 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 20.35 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year reduction of approximately 4.7%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decrease of about 4%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental regulations impacting fishery practices.
- Climate change effects on marine ecosystems and fish populations.
- Market demand shifts towards sustainable seafood options.
- Innovative aquaculture methods potentially supplementing capture fisheries.
