The forecast for capture fisheries of trouts, smelts, and salmons in France indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with production decreasing from 28.46 metric tons to 23.77 metric tons. This suggests an annual contraction rate, as represented by a negative CAGR, reflecting a steady decline over these years. This continues the trend post-2023, where production stood higher. The year-on-year variations are consistent with the observed decline.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Adapting to environmental regulations and sustainability practices that could impact production volumes.
- Potential shifts in consumer demand toward other fish species or alternative sources of protein.
- Innovations in aquaculture that might impact the capture fisheries' market share.
