In 2023, the production of gutted fresh tub gurnard in France stood at a notable level, but a forecasted decline is evident in the years ahead. From 2024 through 2028, production is predicted to decrease steadily, moving from 0.39 metric tons in 2024 to 0.32 metric tons in 2028. Year-on-year changes reflect a gradual reduction in volume, with an annual decrease ranging between 0.02 and 0.01 metric tons. This consistent downward trend can be attributed to multiple factors impacting marine capture fisheries.
Key trends to monitor include:
- Environmental policies affecting fishing practices.
- Market demand fluctuations for gurnard and potential substitutes.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing methods.
