In 2023, the fresh blue whiting poutassou production in French capture fisheries was 6.35 thousand metric tons. Forecasts predict a declining trend from 2024 through 2028, with production decreasing by 0.25 thousand metric tons annually. This equates to a year-on-year average decrease of around 4% between 2023 and 2028, with a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of climate change on fish stock abundance.
- Regulatory changes in EU fisheries management.
- Technological advances in sustainable fishing practices.
