In 2023, the production value of clams, cockles, and arkshells in French capture fisheries was recorded, setting a baseline for future forecasts. From 2024 to 2028, the data reveals a downward trend in production value, starting at 1.09 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024, declining gradually to 0.95143 by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with key reductions observed between 2025 and 2026 and continuing through 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period illustrates a consistent average annual decline in production value.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental changes affecting marine life habitats
Economic shifts in fishery management policies
Technological advances that might counterbalance the declining production values
