In 2023, France's production of fresh lefteye flounders in capture fisheries for human consumption was measured at 20 metric tons. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight upward trend. In 2024, production stabilizes at 20 metric tons, followed by incremental increases to 20.1 metric tons in 2025 and 2026, and 20.2 metric tons in 2027 and 2028. Year-on-year variations are minimal, at approximately 0.5% to 0.5%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is projected as 0.2%.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity affecting flounder populations.
Policy changes in fisheries management aimed at sustainability could alter production volumes.
Technological advancements in fishing techniques may increase capture efficiency.
