The forecast for fresh seafood production in capture fisheries in France from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend. Production is expected to decrease from 286.8 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 244.24 thousand metric tons by 2028. In comparison, the production stood at a higher level in 2023, highlighting the progressive decline. Annually, a decreasing pattern is visible, with reductions primarily driven by environmental regulations and declining fish stocks.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of climate change on fish populations, potentially accelerating the decline in production.
Technological advancements in fishing practices that could potentially alleviate some of the downward pressures.
Policy changes at the European level aimed at sustainable practices which might influence output levels.
