In 2023, the total European flounder production in capture fisheries in France stood at X metric tons (specific data for 2023 is not provided in the dataset). From 2024 to 2028, the production is projected to steadily decline, with yearly decreases of approximately 9.23% from 2024 to 2025, 9.79% from 2025 to 2026, 10.44% from 2026 to 2027, and 11.28% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is a consistent downturn, indicating an overall decline in production volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, potentially affecting flounder habitats.
Regulatory changes aimed at sustainable fishing practices.
Technological advancements in fishing techniques and analytics which might alter capture efficiency.
