In 2023, the whole fresh freshwater and diadromous fishes production in French capture fisheries stood at 265 metric tons. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 reveals a notable declining trend, with production expected to fall year-on-year. Specifically, the year-on-year percentage reductions show a steady decline, indicating a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) decline across the period. By 2028, production is predicted to be 233.91 metric tons, a clear decrease from the previous years, suggesting challenges that the industry might face.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in ecological policies and regulations affecting fishing quotas.
- Environmental changes impacting freshwater and diadromous fish populations.
- Technological advancements potentially offsetting declines through sustainable practices.
- Economic factors influencing consumer demand and market pricing.
