In 2023, France's production of whole fresh marlins and sailfishes in capture fisheries for human consumption stood at approximately 10 metric tons. Forecasted figures for the following years show a significant declining trend: 7.9 metric tons in 2024, decreasing steadily to 0.1 metric tons by 2028. This represents significant year-over-year reductions, with an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -40% between 2024 and 2028.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential shifts in fishing regulations that might further impact production.
- Changes in consumer demand for sustainable seafood options.
- Environmental factors affecting marlin and sailfish populations in capture areas.
