The forecast for whole fresh European seabass production in capture fisheries in France indicates a declining trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 2.17 thousand metric tons in 2024, this figure is expected to decrease to 1.6 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared with the 2023 production, the projected values depict a downward trajectory with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a significant reduction over this five-year span. Year-on-year declines range around 7-8% in the short term.
Future trends to watch for include environmental factors affecting marine biodiversity, changes in fishing regulations, and the impact of consumer demand for sustainable seafood. Monitoring advancements in aquaculture technologies might offer alternative production methods, potentially influencing capture trends and market dynamics.
