As of 2023, France's fresh albacore production in capture fisheries was approximately 7.1 thousand metric tons. Projections for 2024 to 2028 indicate a decline, with production expected to decrease by 10.5% over the five-year span from 6.91 to 6.2 thousand metric tons. The average yearly contraction is expected at 2.15%. The forecast suggests a consistent downward trend in production through 2028, with a particular decline of 2.6% projected each year from 2026 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity, evolving international regulations, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood that may influence albacore fisheries management in France.
