The forecast for monkfish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting from 10.69 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 9.92 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 1.87% in 2025, 1.81% in 2026, 1.84% in 2027, and 1.88% in 2028.
