The forecast for the production of whole fresh small-spotted catshark in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The projected figures show a decrease from 1.282 million euros in 2024 to 0.94202 million euros in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decline, with an average annual decrease of around 7.5% over the five-year span.
Two critical trends to monitor include:
- Marine sustainability practices and their impact on small-spotted catshark populations.
- Changes in consumer preferences that may influence demand for alternative seafood options.
