As of 2023, the production of whole fresh Atlantic mackerel in capture fisheries in France was at a baseline value that precedes a forecasted downward trend. The estimated production in 2024 is 7.07 thousand metric tons, which indicates a gradual annual decrease up until 2028 when it is expected to fall to 6.17 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year variations show a consistent decline by approximately 3.3% annually. The five-year CAGR reflects a steady decrease in production.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on fish populations, shifts in consumer demand for seafood, and changes in fisheries management policies. These factors could alter the projected decrease in mackerel production in France's capture fisheries.
