In 2023, the production of whole fresh Indo-Pacific sailfish for human consumption in France was 6.8 metric tons. The forecast for 2024 remains stable at 6.8 metric tons, followed by a slight decline to 6.7 metric tons in 2025, maintaining this level through 2027 before dropping to 6.6 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2025 indicates a minor reduction, suggesting a stabilization phase with a modest average annual decline anticipated over the coming years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes on capture fisheries, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options, and potential influences from climate-related marine ecosystem changes, which could alter the availability of sailfish in capture fisheries.
