The forecast for whole fresh European plaice production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a significant decline from 560.98 metric tons in 2024 to 185.37 metric tons by 2028. This represents a notable year-on-year decrease with the most substantial drop projected between 2027 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent downward trend in production volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of sustainable fishing regulations, consumer demand shifts towards alternative seafood, and environmental factors affecting plaice habitats, which may influence production stability and recovery.
