In 2023, the total European seabass production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 30.89 million Euros. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decline. Specifically, there's a 6.42% decrease in 2025, a 6.80% drop in 2026, 7.21% in 2027, and a further 7.70% decrease by 2028. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages out to a negative trend, indicating a yearly decline in production value.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fish populations, regulatory changes in fisheries management, and shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood options. These factors could influence the production levels and economic value of seabass fisheries in France.
