Future trends to watch for:

Impact of changing environmental policies and regulations on fishing.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices.
Market demand shifts due to consumer preferences for farmed versus wild-caught seafood.
Ecosystem changes affecting seabass habitats and population dynamics.
