In 2023, the production of gutted fresh catsharks and nursehounds in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 0.2 metric tons. The forecasted production from 2024 to 2027 remains stable at 0.2 metric tons, followed by a slight decline to 0.1 metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year variations over this period indicate a consistent output with no growth until a 50% decrease in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 reflects an average annual decrease due to this forecasted decline.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, regulatory changes impacting fishing practices, or environmental changes affecting the availability of these species, which could further influence production levels.
