In 2023, France's whole fresh freshwater fish production in capture fisheries stood at an estimated value slightly higher than forecasted for 2024. From 2024, the value is projected to decline gradually, decreasing from 2.29k euros per metric ton in 2024 to 2.03k euros in 2028. This shows a year-on-year decline in value, with an overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggesting a 2.4% decrease over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Policymakers' emphasis on sustainable fishing practices.
Potential impacts of climate change on freshwater ecosystems impacting fish populations.
Technological advancements in aquaculture that may affect the capture fisheries market.
