The projected production of whole fresh marine fishes for human consumption in France shows a declining trend from 628.84 metric tons in 2024 to 546.88 metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, production is expected to decrease at a consistent rate, with an annual decline averaging 3.38% over the five-year forecast period (2024-2028). This anticipated reduction suggests diminishing fish stock or shifting market dynamics impacting capture fisheries.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change affecting marine biodiversity and fish availability.
- Regulatory changes in fishing quotas and sustainability practices.
- Technological advancements that might improve fishing efficiency or sustainability.
- Consumer demand shifts towards alternative seafood sources.
