As of 2024, production value for whole fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in capture fisheries in France is estimated at 1.45 thousand euros per metric ton. From 2024 to 2028, this value sees a modest and stable increase reaching up to 1.46 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. The year-on-year change highlights a minimal growth after 2024, with no significant fluctuations in values; this indicates a stable market environment with little variation in production value.
Future trends to watch for include consumer preference shifts towards sustainable seafood options, regulatory changes impacting fishing quotas, and the effect of climate change on marine populations. Monitoring technological advancements in fishing practices that could drive efficiency and cost-effectiveness will also be critical.
