In 2023, whole fresh leerfish production in France's capture fisheries stood at 3.4 metric tons. From 2024, forecasts project a significant decline: production decreases from 3 metric tons to 0.5 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations point to a regular decrease, with the sharpest drop observed in 2027. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steep average annual decline, reflecting considerable challenges in maintaining production volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of environmental changes on leerfish habitats.
Industry adaptations to decreasing fish availability, such as shifts towards sustainable practices.
Governmental policy changes affecting fisheries management.
