In 2023, the production of gutted fresh ling fish in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 1.64 thousand metric tons. Forecasted data indicates a gradual decline with a year-on-year decrease: 2024 (-1.83%), 2025 (-1.85%), 2026 (-1.90%), and 2027 (-1.29%), reaching 1.50 thousand metric tons by 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) showcases a negative trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of regulatory policies on fisheries affecting supply.
Consumer demand shifts towards sustainable and alternative seafood options.
Technological innovations in aquaculture potentially offsetting capture fishery declines.
