In 2024, the forecast for the fresh European Seabass production in capture fisheries in France stands at 39.776 million euros. This represents a continuation of a declining trend observed in recent years, decreasing from 39.206 million euros in 2025, 38.642 million euros in 2026, 38.084 million euros in 2027, to 37.531 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028 indicates an approximate average annual decrease of 1.4% in monetary terms. This sustained decline suggests challenges in maintaining or increasing catch, potentially due to environmental factors or regulatory changes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change on fish populations and habitat.
- Regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and practices in European waters.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices and their adoption.
- Evolving consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced seafood impacting demand.
